摘要
A polymerase chain reaction (PCR). fragment from strain NVH 38 (containing bceT) was cloned, sequenced and expressed in Escherichia coli. This sequence showed 50-60% identity to the original. When this bceT clone was expressed in E coli no biological activity was found in either supernatants or cell extracts. Cell extracts from the Bacillus cereus strains (NVH 38 and B-4ac) were also negative on Vero cells. Neutralisation of supernatant from B. cereus B-4ac using a monoclonal antibody (reacting with NheB and HbtD) abolished the activity. A test for cytotoxic enterotoxins was negative for both cell extracts and supernatants. Our data suggest that BcET either has an unknown type enterotoxic action or non at all.
