Sharon H et al. - The expression of six secreted proteases was markedly reduced. Culture filtrates from the AfPrtT-deleted strain exhibited reduced killing of lung epithelial cells and lysis of erythrocytes. However, the AfPrtT-deleted strain did not exhibit altered virulence in lung-infected mice. These results suggest that AfPrtT is not a significant virulence factor in A. fumigatus.
