Activity of the Bacillus anthracis20 kDa protective antigen component (2008)
Hammamieh, Rasha, Ribot, Wilson J, Abshire, Terry G, Jett, Marti, Ezzell, John
Abstract Background Anthrax is caused by Bacillus anthracis that produce two exotoxins, lethal toxin and edema toxin. The lethal toxin is composed of the lethal factor (LF) complexed with the cell...

Alveolar macrophages (AM) are very important for pulmonary innate immune responses against invading inhaled pathogens because they directly kill the organisms and initiate a cascade of innate and...
Time-Lapse Confocal Imaging of Development of Bacillus anthracis in Macrophages (1998)
Ruthel, Gordon, Ribot, Wilson J., Bavari, Sina, Hoover, Timothy A.
Macrophages attempt to battle infection with Bacillus anthracis spores by phagocytosis of the spores. However, it is believed that B. anthracis spores may survive phagocytosis and may actually use...
Dendritic Cells Endocytose Bacillus Anthracis Spores: Implications for Anthrax Pathogenesis (1998)
Brittingham, Katherine C., Ruthel, Gordon, Panchal, Rekha G., Fuller, Claudette L., Ribot, Wilson J.
Phagocytosis of inhaled Bacillus anthracis spores and subsequent trafficking to lymph nodes are decisive events in the progression of inhaled anthrax because they initiate germination and...
Ribot, Wilson J., Ulrich, Ricky L.
Burkholderia mallei is a highly infectious gram-negative pathogen and is the causative agent of human and animal glanders. By generating polar mutations (disruption of bsaQ and bsaZ) in the B. mallei...

Treatment of Experimental Anthrax with Recombinant Capsule Depolymerase▿
Scorpio, Angelo, Tobery, Steven A., Ribot, Wilson J., Friedlander, Arthur M.
Bacillus anthracis produces an antiphagocytic gamma-linked poly-d-glutamic acid capsule that is required for virulence. Capsule depolymerase (CapD) is a membrane-associated poly-γ-glutamate-specific...

In Vitro Intracellular Trafficking of Virulence Antigen during Infection by Yersinia pestis
DiMezzo, Tracy L., Ruthel, Gordon, Brueggemann, Ernst E., Hines, Harry B., Ribot, Wilson J., Chapman, Carol E., ...
Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of plague, encodes several essential virulence factors on a 70 kb plasmid, including the Yersinia outer proteins (Yops) and a multifunctional virulence antigen...
