List Labs Announces New Anthrax Lethal Factor Detection Method
CAMPBELL, Calif., Dec. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Since the intentional release of anthrax spores leading to lethal inhalational anthrax in 2001, the need for rapid and sensitive detection of infection has been critical. Unfortunately, early symptoms of infection are similar to those of common illnesses. While the symptoms are not remarkable, the Bacillus anthracis bacteria enter the patient’s bloodstream and rapidly multiply. This expanding population of bacteria produces deadly proteins that will eventually overcome the patient. Classical techniques to detect and identify bacteria in blood take too long. We have devised a rapid method for detecting one of the proteins produced in the infection. This protein, anthrax lethal factor, is produced early in infection in a quantity sufficient for detection making it possible to rapidly determine that a patient is infected and to initiate therapy. A quick diagnosis is essential for the successful treatment of the disease.
