CD4+ T cells targeting dominant and cryptic epitopes from Bacillus anthracis Lethal Factor [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Anthrax is an endemic infection in many countries, particularly in the developing world. The causative agent, Bacillus anthracis, mediates disease through the secretion of binary exotoxins.

Chimeric Antibody Engineering Against Bacillus anthracis Lethal Toxin: Neutralization Efficacy and Mechanism of Action [PDF]

Toxins
Bacillus anthracis has three main virulence factors: an extracellular capsule and two binary toxins (lethal toxin—consists of a lethal factor and a protective antigen, and edema toxin—consists of an edema factor and a protective antigen).

Anthrax Toxin Detection: From In Vivo Studies to Diagnostic Applications

Microorganisms, 2020
Anthrax toxins are produced by Bacillus anthracis throughout infection and shape the physiopathogenesis of the disease. They are produced in low quantities but are highly efficient.

Anthrax lethal factor inhibition [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2005
The primary virulence factor of Bacillus anthracis is a secreted zinc-dependent metalloprotease toxin known as lethal factor (LF) that is lethal to the host through disruption of signaling pathways, cell destruction, and circulatory shock.

The Power of Genomic in situ Hybridization (GISH) in Interspecific Breeding of Bulb Onion (Allium cepa L.) Resistant to Downy Mildew (Peronospora destructor [Berk.] Casp.)

Plants, 2019
We exploited the advantages of genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) to monitor the introgression process at the chromosome level using a simple and robust molecular marker in the interspecific breeding of bulb onion (Allium cepa L.) that is resistant to ...
