Characterization of the potency and mechanism of action of a novel dual-selective intermolecularly complemented version of Anthrax Lethal Toxin (PAU2R200A- PAL1I207R/FP59) in Acute... by Farhat, Mirna

“…Finally, while IMC/LF treatment did not affect the expression of any of the proteases tested (uPAR, MMP2, and MMP9), treatment with IMC/FP59 did affect their expression with significant cytotoxic responses seen only in cells whose uPAR expression was not affected at any time point post-treatment. In this study, we showed for the first time the potency of IMC PrAg variant on AML cell lines, its mode of action, as well as its mechanism of cell death.…”
