Therapeutic Potential of Yersinia Anti-Inflammatory Components

Microbial pathogens have developed various stratagems for modulating and/or circumventing the host’s innate and adaptive immunity. Hence, certain virulence factors can be viewed as potential therapeutic agents for human immunopathological diseases. This is the case for virulence plasmid-encoded prot...

Zusammenfassung:Microbial pathogens have developed various stratagems for modulating and/or circumventing the host’s innate and adaptive immunity. Hence, certain virulence factors can be viewed as potential therapeutic agents for human immunopathological diseases. This is the case for virulence plasmid-encoded proteins from pathogenic Yersiniae that inhibit the host’s inflammatory response by interfering with various cellular signaling pathways.
