The Vibrio cholerae cytolysin (VCC) promotes activation of mast cell (T helper 2) cytokine production

Many strains of Vibrio cholerae produce a cytolysin (VCC) that forms oligomeric transmembrane pores responsible for vacuolization of several cell types in culture. Here we report that VCC is a TLR2 agonist able to stimulate mast cells to produce several cytokines (IL-4 included) which could contribu...
