Type lll Secretion Apparatus

Type lll Secretion Apparatus which is one of the most amazing biological devices. It can pass a whole protein molecule from a bacterial cell to a target eukaryotic cell. This apparatus which looks like a syringe is an organelle of gram-negative bacterium. We are aiming at making this device available for E. coli thus developing a new way for interaction between cells by injection of desired proteins directly into another cell.
