lethal factor

There is also a lethal factor in the Manx gene.

"Anyway, the lethal factor in native meat is nothing fancy.

Dr. Liddington worked out the structure of lethal factor last year.

The bacterium also expresses a toxin called lethal factor 1.

The other components are called edema factor and lethal factor.

"It is a monument to their persistence, but almost a lethal factor to their getting a postgraduate degree."

On top of each protein is a docking site for either edema factor or lethal factor.

Lethal factor, the other anthrax toxin, also inhibits cytokine production, though through a different mechanism.

Nearly all strains secrete lethal factors that convert host tissues into nutrients required for bacterial growth.

This enzyme is a component of the lethal factor produced by the bacterium Bacillus anthracis.

In order to enter the cells, the edema and lethal factors use another protein produced by B. anthracis called protective antigen.

If edema factor helps an anthrax infection begin, by killing off the body's first line of defense, lethal factor administers the coup de grace.

Once in the blood stream, these bacilli release three proteins named lethal factor, edema factor, and protective antigen.

The Swedish Warmblood may be any solid colour (although certain colors associated with lethal factors will exclude a stallion from breeding approval).

Rats injected with lethal factor may die in less than 40 minutes from fluid in the lungs, Dr. Leppla said.

Dr. Liddington's team has worked out the exact structure of lethal factor, a principal component of anthrax's three-part toxin.

The protective antigen then collects lethal factor or edema factor from the bloodstream and injects them into the target cell.

The seven-member barrel now injects its edema factor and lethal factor proteins through its central channel and into the cell's interior.

Like Bordetella pertussis, it forms a calmodulin-dependent adenylate cyclase exotoxin known as (edema factor), along with lethal factor.

Throughout history, it was believed that lethal factor caused macrophages to make TNF-alpha and interleukin 1, beta (IL1B).

The field is completed by Armed for Peace, Circle the Wagons, Too True, Lethal Factor, Nascram, Flathorn and Starkaro.

Examples of enzymes that ilomastat inhibit include thermolysin, peptide deformylase, and anthrax lethal factor endopeptidase (LF) produced by the bacterium Bacillus anthracis.

The 97-page report enumerated a dozen lethal factors, beginning with the unconscionable delay in organizing a rescue party that did not reach the miners until almost two days after an explosion trapped them.

By employing molecular biology methods combined with the new genome sequencing information and bioinformatics, they discovered a new toxin (sibling lethal factor), which acts selectively only on the same bacterial strain.

The other advance reported yesterday was the determination of the exact three-dimensional structure of the lethal factor, the component of anthrax toxin that is injected into certain cells of the immune system.
