In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Bruggisser et al. show that Clostridium perfringens β-toxin (CPB) binds platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1) (also known as CD31) to induce membrane pores. The discovery explains the cell type specificity for CPB and, in large part, the basic pathophysiology of disease.
在本期《细胞宿主与微生物》中,Bruggisser 等人表明,产气荚膜梭菌β 毒素(CPB)结合血小板内皮细胞黏附分子-1(PECAM-1)(也称为 CD31)以诱导膜孔。这一发现解释了 CPB 的细胞类型特异性,并在很大程度上解释了疾病的基本病理生理学。
