Discovery of Host Proteins Involved in Host-Pathogen Interactions

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Joshua Adkins
The multiple mechanisms by which pathogenic enterobacteria of the genus Salmonella infect their host indicate a complex host-pathogen relationship. The pathogen secretes dozens of proteins, termed &…

Methods for Biological Toxin Identification

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Karen Wahl
Biological toxins are of human health and biosecurity concern. Identification of such toxins often relies on enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) methods, but orthogonal approaches are desired…
