## Abstract Concanavalin A, wheat germ agglutinin and the ovalbumin glycopeptide are all inhibitors of the cytotoxic effect of diphtheria toxin on Chinese hamster cells. Ovalbumin glycopeptide loses its inhibitory property after treatment with Ξ²βNβacetylglucosaminidase. This demonstrates the import
When Vero cells were depleted of potassium, the cells were protected against diphtheria toxin. Potassium depletion of Vero cells strongly reduced the binding of the toxin to cell surface receptors. Likewise, potassium depleted L-cells were protected against pseudomonas toxin. Diphtheria toxin bindin
