Anti-tumor effects of the bacterium caulobacter crescentus in murine tumor models

Abstract excerpt

Caulobacter crescentus is a gram negative, non-pathogenic bacterium, common in aquatic and soil environments. One feature of note is a protein surface layer (S-layer) composed of a single protein, organized as a self-assembled crystalline array that coats the bacterium. In the course of efforts to express cancer-associated peptides as genetic insertions into the S-layer, we noted a tumor suppressive effect of the...
