Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae exotoxin ApxI induces cell death via attenuation of FAK through LFA-1

Abstract ApxI exotoxin is an important virulence factor derived from Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae that causes pleuropneumonia in swine. Here, we investigate the role of lymphocyte function-associated antigen 1 (LFA-1, CD11a/CD18), a member of the β2 integrin family, and the involvement of the int...
