Cellular and Physiological Effects of Anthrax Exotoxin and Its Relevance to Disease
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2012 Bacillus anthracis, the causative agent of anthrax, secretes a tripartite exotoxin that exerts pleiotropic effects on the host. The purification of the exotoxin components, protective antigen, lethal factor, and edema factor allowed the rapid ...

Bacterial Exotoxins and the Inflammasome [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2015 The inflammasomes are intracellular protein complexes that play an important role in innate immune sensing. Activation of inflammasomes leads to activation of caspase-1 and maturation and secretion of the pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18.
