• The multidrug-resistant human pathogen Clostridium difficile has a highly mobile, mosaic genome (2006, background): “difficile have been shown to be exotoxins, toxin A (TcdA) and toxin B (TcdB”
• Bile Salts and Glycine as Cogerminants for Clostridium difficile Spores (2008, background): “difficile elicits disease upon the secretion of two toxins, TcdA and TcdB (38).”
• Immunogenic cell death and DAMPs in cancer therapy (2012, background): “These authors showed that a recombinant N-terminal fragment of CRT (39-272) is a potent inducer of activation and maturation of B cells and macrophages and can trigger Ig class switching in B cells without T cell help in vitro and in vivo72.”
