The relationship between the metabolism of sphingomyelin species and the hemolysis of sheep erythrocytes induced by Clostridium perfringens α-toxins⃞
Clostridium perfringens α-toxin induces the hemolysis of sheep erythrocytes by activating the metabolism of sphingomyelin (SM) via a GTP binding protein in membranes. α-Toxin stimulated the formation of 15-N-nervonoyl sphingosine (C24:1-ceramide), which was identified by positive ion fast atom bomba...
