“…Several studies proved that the B. cereus enterotoxins affect a variety of different target tissues and cell lines, such as rabbit retinal tissue and ileum [ 303 ], sheep blood [ 300 ], as well as Vero (African green monkey kidney), CHO (Chinese hamster ovary), HUVEC (human umbilical vein/vascular primary endothelial cells), Hep-2 (human cervix), CaCo-2 (human colon), Hep-G2 (human liver), A549 (human lung), RPMI 8226 (human B lymphocyte), A204 (human muscle), Jurkat (human T lymphocyte), U937 (human monocyte), HT-29 (human colon), IPEC-J2 (swine colon), BMDM (primary bone marrow derived macrophages), EC (mouse lung primary endothelial), RAW 264.7 (murine macrophages), B16-BL6 (murine skin), B16-F10 (murine skin), and HT-1080 (human connective tissue) cells [ 204 , 227 , 306 , 335 , 337 , 338 ]. At this point, the question frequently arose whether specific target structures and receptors for Hbl and Nhe exist.…”
