Pertussis toxin other lung cells produce a variety of chemokines. PT has been found to inhibit the early transcription of keratinocyte-derived chemokine, macrophage inflammatory protein 2 and LPS-induced CXC chemokine. Eventually, PT causes lymphocytosis, one of the systemic manifestations of whooping cough. PT, a decisive virulence determinant of "B. pertussis", is able to cross the blood–brain barrier by increasing its permeability. As a result, PT can cause severe neurological complications; however, recently it has been found that the medicinal usage of "Pertussis" toxin can promote the development of regulatory T cells and prevent central nervous system autoimmune disease, such as multiple sclerosis.
Fabry disease his classic paper on his electron microscopic findings in Fabry disease in 1965. The first specific treatment for Fabry disease was approved in 2001. Fabry disease Fabry disease, also known as Anderson–Fabry disease, is a rare genetic disease that can affect many parts of the body including the kidneys, heart, and skin. Fabry disease is one of a group of conditions known as lysosomal storage diseases. The genetic mutation that causes Fabry disease interferes with the function of an enzyme which processes biomolecules known as sphingolipids, leading to these substances building up in the walls of blood vessels and other
