Anthrax Cell Biology
Researchers from University of Sussex report recent findings in anthrax cell biology
Published in Bioterrorism Week, December 31st, 2007
A report, 'Anthrax toxin evades Toll-like receptor recognition, whereas its cell wall components trigger activation via TLR2/6 heterodimers,' is newly published data in Cellular Microbiology. According to recent research from Falmer, the United Kingdom, "Bacillus anthracis is a Gram-positive bacillus that is the causative agent of anthrax. The virulence of the bacillus is partly due to the production of a tripartite virulence factor: protective antigen (PA), lethal factor (LF) and edema factor (EF)."
"Recognition of the bacillus and its toxins by the innate immune system is likely to play a key role following infection. In this study we set out to...
