Research published by Army scientists indicates that a minor reduction in levels of one particular gene, known as CD45, can provide protection against two divergent microbes: the virus that causes Ebola hemorrhagic fever and the bacterium that causes anthrax. Taken together, the results suggest a common host restriction factor and a promising approach to drug development for treating two completely different infections.

In the largest study ever conducted of an anthrax vaccine, researchers found they could achieve the same level of immune response, with fewer side effects, by giving the vaccine in the muscle rather than under the skin and by giving fewer doses.

Like a circuit breaker that prevents electrical wiring from overheating and bringing down the house, a tiny family of three molecules stops the immune system from mounting an out-of-control, destructive inflammatory response against invading pathogens, researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies have found.

After having demonstrated the protective role of one of the enzymes of our natural immunity of against B. anthracis, the anthrax bacterium, researchers from the Institut Pasteur, INSERM, and the CNRS explain how the bacillus is capable of evading the bactericidal action of this enzyme: this bacterium produces a toxin that inhibits the enzyme synthesis. This research*, published in PloS Pathogens, reveals potential new therapeutic avenues against anthrax.
