Moreover, cytoplasmic extract as well as live V, pectenicida cells provoked, within a few hours, death of P. maximus hemocytes adhering to a glass slide. After partial purification, it was shown that toxic activities of V. pectenicida cytoplasmic extract was due to a toxin, named VHKT (for vibrio hemocyte-killer toxin), which is heat stable, acid and protease resistant, and less than 3 kDa in molecular weight. Attempts to purify VHKT by reverse-phase (C18) HPLC separated activity into the fraction eluted by water at a retention time of 4.02 min.
