| scarlet fever erythrogenic toxin |
A culture filtrate of lysogenised group A strains of beta-haemolytic streptococci, erythrogenic when inoculated into the skin of susceptible persons, and neutralised by antibodies that appear during scarlet fever convalescence; three immunological types (A, B, and C) are recognised.

Corynebacterium diphtheriae toxin diluted so that the inoculated dose (0.1 or 0.2 ml) will contain 1/50 th of guinea pig minimal lethal dose.
See: Schick test.
Synonym: diagnostic diphtheria toxin.

| dinoflagellate toxin |
A potent neurotoxin that is thought to act similarly to botulinus toxin by impairing the synthesis or the release of acetylcholine.
(05 Mar 2000) |
| diphtheria toxin |
<protein> An ab exotoxin (62 kD) coded by _ corynephage of virulent Corynebacterium diphtheriae strains (that can produce a repressor of toxin production). The B subunit binds to receptors on the surface of the target cell and facilitates the entry of the enzymically active A subunit (21 kD) that ADP ribosylates elongation factor 2, thereby halting mRNA translation.
