Which polypeptide of cholera enterotoxin is nontoxic but immunogenic?
Which polypeptide of cholera enterotoxin is nontoxic but immunogenic? Correct Answer B
Cholera enterotoxin (produced by Vibrio cholerae) consists of three polypeptides: A1, A2 and B polypeptides. The A polypeptides are toxic, while the B polypeptide is nontoxic but immunogenic. Thus, we can use the B polypeptide for the manufacture of vaccines.
