Caveolin 1 is a conserved host factor mediating Bacillus cereus hemolysin BL toxin cytolytic toxicity

Hemolysin BL (HBL) is a tripartite α‑pore‑forming toxin and a major Bacillus cereus virulence factor. Although LITAF and its homolog CDIP1 were previously identified as host receptors that promote HBL‑induced cytolysis, mice lacking both proteins remain only partially protected, indicating the existence of additional d...
