Leukotoxin (Leukothera®) Targets Active Leukocyte Function Antigen-1 (LFA-1) Protein and Triggers a Lysosomal Mediated Cell Death Pathway

Leukotoxin (LtxA) is a protein toxin that is secreted from the oral bacterium, Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans. LtxA targets specifically the β(2) integrin, leukocyte function antigen-1 (LFA-1) on white blood cells (WBCs) and causes cell death. LtxA preferentially targets activated WBCs and is...
