IMPROVED CHIMERIC TOXIN RECEPTOR PROTEINS AND CHIMERIC TOXIN RECEPTOR PROTEINS FOR TREATMENT AND PREVENTION OF ANTHRAX

摘要

Chimeric toxin receptor proteins having a toxin receptor associated with an immunoglobulin complex having least a portion of an immunoglobulin heavy chain and at least a portion of an immunoglobulin light chain are described. Such chimeric toxin receptor proteins have improved stability as compared to chimeric toxin receptor proteins lacking the light chain. Anthrax and botulinum chimeric toxin receptor proteins with increased stability are also described.
