ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein are immunogenic mutant Shiga-Like Toxin II variants and vaccines containing such toxins. The mutant toxin comprises an SLT-IIv where the amino acid at position 167 in the A subunit has been replaced by a differently charged amino acid that essentially maintains the structure of the native A subunit. In a preferred embodiment, the glutamic acid is replaced with glutamine. An analogous modification may also be made at position 170. The vaccines are used for edema disease of swine.
