STUDY OF SOME CYTOGENETIC EFFECTS OF THE AEROLYSIN TOXIN PRODUCED BY AEROMONAS HYDROPHILA ON LYMPHOCYTES | ||

| Abstract | ||
| Aerolysin is one of the major virulence factors produced by Aeromonashydrophila bacteria. This bacteria produced two types of toxins, alpha and beta aerolysin. The toxin showed to have a toxic effects against many kind of cells such as epithelial cells, red blood cells and lymphocytes.The current study aimed to assist the genotoxic of the aerolysin toxin against lymphocytes. Lymphocytes were treated with three toxin concentrations.The results showed that all toxin concentrations have a toxic effect on cells. Also the results showed that mitotic index and blastogenic index were declines which reflex the toxicity of the toxin. | ||
