ABSTRACT:
An immunogenic detoxified protein comprising the amino acid sequence of subunit A of a cholera toxin (CT-A) or a fragment thereof or the amino acid sequence of subunit A of anEscherichia coliheat labile toxin (LT-A) or a fragment thereof wherein the amino acids at, or in positions corresponding to Ser-63 and Arg-192 are replaced with another amino acid. The immunogenic detoxified protein is useful as vaccine forVibrio choleraeor an enterotoxigenic strain ofEscherichia coliand is produced by recombinant DNA means by site-directed mutagenesis.
