| Research Abstract |
I analyzed how BopC, which is the protein secreted from Bordetella, cause necrosis to mammalian cells. When mammalian cells were infected with Bordetella, the cells shrank and then spread before celldeath. Moreover, protein kinase C inhibitor specifically suppressed cell death induced by BopC function.
