  • Title: Comparative toxinology of Loxosceles reclusa and Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis.
    Author: Bernheimer AW, Campbell BJ, Forrester LJ.
    Journal: Science; 1985 May 03; 228(4699):590-1. PubMed ID: 3983643.
    Abstract:
    In contrast to other kinds of phospholipases, phospholipases D that are toxic for humans and animals are not commonly encountered as constituents of venoms or as products of pathogenic microorganisms. Toxic phospholipases D are present, however, in the venom of the brown recluse spider (Loxosceles reclusa) and in supernatants or filtrates of cultures of Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis. Although the two enzyme toxins are derived from phylogenetically disparate entities, they are similar in molecular weight, charge, substrate specificity, and in several biological activities. They are immunologically distinguishable.
