- Abstract
The article presents the results of research related to exotoxins. A study by scientists in Charleston, South Carolina, led by Peter Moeller of the Hollings Marine Laboratory, have identified a highly unstable toxin produced by the toxic form of Pfiesteria piscicida. Researchers from the University of California in San Francisco, led by senior author Joanne Engel, have identified a host protein, a ubiquitin ligase called Cbl-b, that helps protect mice from infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a pathogen commonly acquired in hospitals.
