A synthetic peptide homolog corresponding to the C-terminal 30 amino acids of Clostridium perfringens type A enterotoxin (CPE) was conjugated to a thyroglobulin carrier and used to immunize mice. Conjugate-immunized mice produced antibodies which neutralized native CPE cytotoxicity, at least in part, by blocking enterotoxin binding. This peptide may be useful for the development of a vaccine to protect against CPE-mediated disease.
