Abstract

With edema of the albino mouse paw as experimental model the action of neuraminidase inhibitors on the cholerogenic effect of cholera vibrio culture filtrates (CVCF) was studied. Addition of inhibitors to CVCF was found to depress their biological activity. Since purified neuraminidase preparations from cholera vibrios had no cholerogenic action it was postulated that the region of the cholerogen responsible for fixation on cell membranes is chemically similar to the active center of neuraminidase.
