โœฆ Synopsis

A radioimmune assay for uridine 5'-diphosphate-galactose (UDP-Gal):GM2 galactosyltransferase, which synthesizes GM1, has been developed utilizing cholera toxin. This assay is more sensitive and simpler than previously used assays. Radioactive nucleotide substrate and GM2 were incubated with an enzyme sample, and a radiolabeled product, GM1, was reacted with cholera toxin. The GM1-cholera toxin complex was further reacted with anti-cholera toxin and Staphylococcus aureus cell suspension. The resulting complex was transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane and quantitated by liquid scintillation counting. This assay was found to be sensitive for the detection of 100 pmol of the reaction product, GM1. With this assay method, some properties of the crude enzyme extracts from rat liver were studied. The enzyme had a pH optimum of 6.5-7.0 and required Mn2+. The Km values for UDP-Gal and GM2 were 0.12 mM and 6 microM, respectively.

A rapid assay for cholera toxin (CT) has been developed using a fluorescence-based biosensor. This sensor was capable of analyzing six samples simultaneously for CT in 20 min with few manipulations required by the operator. The biochemical assays utilized a ganglioside-"capture" format: ganglioside

Ganglioside G M1 is the receptor for cholera toxin on cell surfaces, and the binding of cholera toxin to G M1 immobilized on microtitre plates has been reported previously by several authors as an assay for the toxin (G M1 -ELISA). This assay has been examined in detail. Results were independent of

The use of the B subunit of cholera toxin, a protein that binds specifically to ganglioside GM 1, has provided a new paradigm for studying physiological functions of ganglioside GMl . The B subunit inhibited the growth of rat glioma C6 cells that had been pretreated with ganglioside GM1. In some pre
