Delta Hemolysin and Phenol-soluble Modulins, but not Alpha Hemolysin or Panton-Valentine Leukocidin, Induce Mast Cell Activation

Delta Hemolysin and Phenol-soluble Modulins, but not Alpha Hemolysin or Panton-Valentine Leukocidin, Induce Mast Cell Activation

Mast cells are located at host interfaces, such as the skin, and contribute to the first-line defense against pathogens by releasing soluble mediators, including those that induce itching and scratching behavior. Here, we show that delta-hemolysin (Hld) and phenol soluble modulins (PSMs) PSMα1 and P...
