초록
Cytolysin produced by Vibrio vulnificus ATCC 27562 was partially purified by sequential ammonium sulfate precipitation, gel filtration with Sephadex G-200, and ion exchange chromatography with DEAE-Sephadex. The partially purified cytolysin was inactivated by cholesterol. More than one molecule of the cytolysin was required to lyse a single erythrocyts. The antiserum against cytolysin enhanced the survival ratio of mice infected with low dose of V. vulnificus.
