Bacillus anthracis lethal toxin negatively modulates ILC3 function through perturbation of IL-23-mediated MAPK signaling
23 Oct 2017
Abstract excerpt
Bacillus anthracis, the causative agent of anthrax, secretes lethal toxin that down-regulates immune functions.Translocation of B. anthracis across mucosal epithelia is key for its dissemination and pathogenesis.Group 3 innate lymphocytes (ILC3s) are important in mucosal barrier maintenance due to their expression of the cytokine IL-22, a critical regulator of tissue responses and repair during homeostasis and...
