Receptor Binding Domains of TcdB from <i>Clostridioides difficile</i> for Chondroitin Sulfate Proteoglycan-4 and Frizzled Proteins Are Functionally Independent and Additive

Toxin B (TcdB) produced by <i>Clostridioides difficile</i> is a main pathogenicity factor that affects a variety of different cell types within the colonic mucosa. TcdB is known to utilize frizzled-1,2,7 and chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan-4 (CSPG4) as protein receptors. By using human...
