Application

Application Comment Organism
molecular biology the cellular damage inflicted by anthrax lethal toxin depends not only on the innate responses but also on the maturation stage of the cell, which modulates the more general caspase-1-independent responses Bacillus anthracis

Protein Variants

Protein Variants Comment Organism
additional information the responses of various murine dendritic cells to anthrax lethal toxin is investigated: Using a variety of knockout mice, it is shown that depending on the mouse strain, death of bone marrow-derived dendritic cells and macrophages is mediated either by a fast Nalp1b, a member of the NOD-like receptor family, and caspase-1-dependent, or by a slow caspase-1-independent pathway that is triggered by the impairment of MEK1/2 pathways. Caspase-1-independent death is observed in cells of different genetic backgrounds and interestingly occurs only in immature dendritic cells. Maturation, triggered by different types of stimuli, leads to full protection of dendritic cells Bacillus anthracis
