Reversible control of cell membrane receptor function using DNA nano-spring multivalent ligands.
Chemically functionalized and nanostructured materials, which mimic the features of the natural extracellular matrix, provide a tool to organize cell surface receptors into nanoscale clusters and manipulate cell functions. However, the existing materials are mainly based on static structures. Herein, we developed a DNA based structure-switchable and multivalent material that acts as a 'nano-spr...
متن کاملBinding of Multivalent Ligands to Cells: E ects of Cell and Receptor Density Condensed title: Binding of Multivalent Ligands (Keywords: Multivalent Ligands, Crosslinking
We study the equilibrium binding properties of multivalent ligands and mixtures of ligands of diierent valence to cell surface receptors. We examine the eeects of changing cell density or number of receptors per cell, i.e., receptor concentration, over a wide but physiologically relevant range. Qualitatively diierent behaviour arises in the excess receptor regime, where the volume concentration...
متن کاملSelf-assembled multivalent carbohydrate ligands.
Materials that display multiple carbohydrate residues have gained much attention due to their potential to inhibit or modulate biological multivalent interactions. These materials can be grouped accordingly to the way they are prepared, as unimolecular or as self-assembled systems. Both systems take advantage of the fact that multivalent interactions have significantly higher binding affinity t...
متن کاملActivating B cell signaling with defined multivalent ligands.
Depending on the stimuli they encounter, B lymphocytes engage in signaling events that lead to immunity or tolerance. Both responses are mediated through antigen interactions with the B cell antigen receptor (BCR). Antigen valency is thought to be an important parameter in B cell signaling, but systematic studies are lacking. To explore this issue, we synthesized multivalent ligands of defined ...
متن کاملSynthetic multivalent ligands in the exploration of cell-surface interactions.
Processes such as cell-cell recognition and the initiation of signal transduction often depend on the formation of multiple receptor-ligand complexes at the cell surface. Synthetic multivalent ligands are unique probes of these complex cell-surface-binding events. Multivalent ligands can be used as inhibitors of receptor-ligand interactions or as activators of signal transduction pathways. Emer...
