Fitc conjugated cholera toxin b subunit ctxb

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

FITC-conjugated Cholera toxin B subunit (CTxB) is a fluorescently labeled protein used as a cell membrane marker. It binds to the GM1 ganglioside, a glycosphingolipid found on the surface of many cell types. The FITC (Fluorescein isothiocyanate) label allows visualization of the bound CTxB under fluorescent microscopy.

Membrane Fusion Assay for S. pneumoniae EVs

To assess membrane fusion using S. pneumoniae EVs and J774A.1 macrophage cells, we essentially followed procedures described earlier [19 (link)]. Briefly, EVs were labeled with 1 mg/mL rhodamine isothiocyanate B-R18 (Molecular Probes) for 1 h at room temperature. An unlabeled probe was removed by centrifugation at 100,000× g (60 min, 4 °C). After washing with PBS, labeled EVs were resuspended in 1 mL PBS. Subsequently, the host cell plasma membrane was labeled for 1 h prior to the incubation with EVs with 8 mg/mL FITC-conjugated cholera toxin B subunit (CtxB) (Sigma-Aldrich). Then, labeled EVs were added in a 1:4 dilution in the wells and incubated for 30 min at 37 °C. When applicable, 10 mg/mL Filipin III was added 30 min prior to the addition of EVs. After incubation with EVs, cell samples were analyzed by confocal microscopy as described above.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
