Synthetic and natural amphiphiles, octyl glucoside, Nonidet P40, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), gangliosides GM1 and GD1a, interact with cholera toxin (CLT) and with its active region (promoter A). The formation of CLT-amphiphile complex leads to inhibition of ADP-ribosyltransferase activity, a chara
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
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 enzym
