<i>Toxoplasma</i> induced cytokine release syndrome is critically dependent on the expression of pore-forming Perforin-Like Protein-1
2025-03-17
Abstract excerpt
Acute virulence in Toxoplasma gondii is linked to an excessive proinflammatory cytokine cascade during laboratory murine infection. Previous work showed that T. gondii secretes a pore forming protein, PLP1, that is required for efficient cytolytic egress from host cells. Deletion of the PLP1 gene results in defective egress from infected culture cells and a marked reduction in parasite virulence. The goal of th...
