Most cases are due to intestinal infections from <jats:italic>Escherichia coli<\/jats:italic> strains (STEC) which produce by Shiga toxin (Stxs). Stx1 and Stx2 produced by STEC in the gut are absorbed into the circulation and, after binding on polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs), are targeted to renal endothelium. The aim of the present work was the development of a method to detect Stxs bound on circulating PMNs and to diagnose STEC infections in patients with HUS.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>White blood cells isolated after erythrocytic lysis were incubated with anti\u2010Stxs mouse monoclonal antibodies in the presence of human serum to saturate Fc receptors on PMNs. After incubation with fluorescein isothiocyanate\u2013goat anti\u2010mouse immunoglobulin G, flow cytometric analysis was used to demonstrate the cell\u2010bound fluorescence.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The method was quick (3 h), sensitive (femtomoles), and capable of detecting both Stxs. The presence of Stxs was detected on PMNs from six patients with HUS: four patients had serologic or microbiological evidence of STEC infection, whereas the other two patients had no evidence of STEC infection when employing the standard diagnostic methods.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The method described is rapid, simple, and based on commercially available reagents, and it might be more sensitive than the standard methods for diagnosis of STEC infection. It also allows the detection of Stxs in blood, a key step to monitor the pathogenesis of HUS. \u00a9 2004 Wiley\u2010Liss, Inc.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/cyto.b.20022","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,8,4]],"date-time":"2004-08-04T07:00:42Z","timestamp":1091602842000},"page":"40-44","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":46,"title":["Flow cytometry detection of Shiga toxins in the blood from children with hemolytic uremic syndrome"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"61B","author":[{"given":"Pier Luigi","family":"Tazzari","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Francesca","family":"Ricci","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Domenica","family":"Carnicelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alfredo","family":"Caprioli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alberto E.","family":"Tozzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gianfranco","family":"Rizzoni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Roberto","family":"Conte","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maurizio","family":"Brigotti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2004,8,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/CMR.11.3.450"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1432-1033.1988.tb13756.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-2958.1998.00911.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1096\/fj.01-0521com"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_6_2","first-page":"299","article-title":"Escherichia coli Shiga toxin","volume":"9","author":"Nakao H","year":"2000","journal-title":"J Nat Toxins"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/CMR.11.1.142"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1182\/blood.V95.11.3396"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1681\/ASN.V124800"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3201\/eid0901.020266"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0014-5793(89)81684-9"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/iai.56.8.1926-1933.1988"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.clinmicnews.2004.03.001"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-2672.1999.00766.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"695","DOI":"10.1128\/iai.50.3.695-700.1985","article-title":"Characterization of monoclonal antibodies against Shiga\u2010like toxin from Escherichia coli","volume":"50","author":"Strockbine NA","year":"1985","journal-title":"Infect Immun"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00467-003-1262-6"}],"container-title":["Cytometry Part B: Clinical Cytometry"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1002%2Fcyto.b.20022","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1002\/cyto.b.20022","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,10]],"date-time":"2023-10-10T21:27:14Z","timestamp":1696973234000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/cyto.b.20022"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2004,8,3]]},"references-count":15,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2004,9]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1002\/cyto.b.20022"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/cyto.b.20022","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1552-4949","1552-4957"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1552-4949","type":"print"},{"value":"1552-4957","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2004,8,3]]}}}
