Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Kenneth T. Appell's research investigates mechanisms of bacterial pathogenesis, focusing on the bacterium *Yersinia pestis*. His work has explored the role of specific bacterial proteins and regulatory systems in host-pathogen interactions. For example, he has studied the regulation of pesticin and type 6 secretion systems by the BipA protein in *Yersinia pestis*. Additionally, his research has examined how the PhoP/PhoQ two-component system influences the expression of plasminogen activator protease in this bacterium.
Appell has also investigated the host immune response to bacterial infection. One publication details the contribution of Interleukin-17 to neutrophil infiltration in the lungs during pneumonic plague, highlighting the interplay between host immunity and bacterial infection. His research network includes collaborators such as Madeleine G. Scott, Jon S. Blevins, and Wanfeng Guo from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, with whom he has co-authored multiple publications. Appell has 6 total publications and an h-index of 1.
