Application

Application Comment Organism
medicine in a murine model of intoxication, lethal factor causes the dose-dependent disruption of intestinal epithelial integrity, characterized by mucosal erosion, ulceration, and bleeding. The pathology correlates with a blockade of intestinal crypt cell proliferation, accompanied by marked apoptosis in the villus tips. Treated mice nearly uniformly develop systemic infections with commensal enteric organisms within 72 hours of administration. Intestinal pathology depends upon lethal factor proteolytic activity and is partially attenuated by co-administration of broad spectrum antibiotics Bacillus anthracis
