Anthrax Toxins

Anthrax toxin can enter living cells and the toxin enzymes, Lethal Factor (LF), and Edema Factor (EF) make known changes.  Because of this activity, anthrax toxins are valuable tools to investigate cell processes.  Some of the work currently accomplished with these toxins can be described by the following selected references:  Work with anthrax toxins is […]
