✦ Synopsis
bcherichia coli heat stable enterotoxin (ST,) and the newly identified endogenous ligand guanylin bind to an intestinal receptor and activate membrane bound guanylate cyclase. We compared ST, binding and affinity crosslinking of ST, receptors in human small intestine to those in the Caco-2 human colon carcinoma cell line. ST, had similar kinetics of binding in human intestinal and Caco-2 brush border membranes. In both human intestine and Caco-2 brush border membranes, multiple specifically radiolabeled bands, including a 140-1 65 kDa band, were identified by affinity crosslinking. However, in human intestine the most prominent autoradiographic species was a 60 kDa band. A 60 kDa protein was also specifically immunoprecipitated from solubilized human brush border membranes using antisera raised against a cloned ST, receptor fusion protein. Our observations of multiple crosslinked proteins in human intestine and Caco-2 cells could be explained by the existence of several members of a family of ST, receptors and/or the existence of smaller ST, binding proteins generated by the protease cleavage of a larger complete ST, receptor. o 1993 ~~l e y -~i s s , Inc.

## Abstract Although the transmission of coxsackievirus B3 occurs mainly via the oral route, little is known about the primary replication and persistence of this agent in the intestine. To address this question, BALB/c mice were inoculated by gavage with coxsackievirus B3, Nancy strain. The mice w
The aim of this study was to ®nd a cell culture model of the intestinal epithelium for use in studies of CYP3A4-mediated ®rst-pass metabolism of drugs and also for studies of the interplay between CYP3A4 metabolism and P-glycoprotein ef¯ux. For this purpose, the expression of CYP3A4, CYP3A5, and MDR
