From: Exfoliative toxin E, a new Staphylococcus aureus virulence factor with host-specific activity
Exfoliative activity of the new ET in neonatal mice. Neonatal mice injected with a recombinant new ET displayed microscopic blisters 1 h after injection. Dotted lines indicate the basement membrane. Detailed views of microscopic blisters (areas delineated in yellow frame) are provided below each panel, at a higher magnification. Bars indicate 20 μm and 10 μm at lower and higher magnifications, respectively. EC: extracellular domain of Dsg, IC: intracellular domain of Dsg.
