Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Abstract

The phosphatase, phosphodiesterase, and phospholipase activities identified in this study in a highly purified preparation of theYersinia pestis murine toxin should shed light on the mechanism by which this toxin acts on the target cells of plague-sensitive animals
