The Response of Cultured Mammalian Cells to Diphtheria Toxin
The response to diphtheria toxin of two sensitive cell lines, KB and HeLa, was investigated. Inhibition of the incorporation of radioactively labeled amino acids into protein was the earliest detectable effect of diphtheria toxin. It was observed that, during the period of intoxication, the cell membrane was morphologically intact and retained its semi-permeable character, although it was rende...
متن کاملInteraction of cultured mammalian cells with [125I] diphtheria toxin.
The characteristics of cell adsorption and pinocytotic uptake of diphtheria toxin by several mammalian cell types were studied. Purified toxin iodinated by a solid-state lactoperoxidase method provided preparations of high specific activity and unaltered biological activity. Dephtheria toxin-sensitive HEp-2 cells and guinea pig macrophage cultures were compared with resistant mouse L-929 cells....
متن کاملHypersensitivity to diphtheria toxin by mouse cells expressing both diphtheria toxin receptor and CD9 antigen.
DTS-II is a highly diphtheria toxin (DT)-sensitive cell line previously isolated by transfection of wild-type DT-resistant mouse L-M(TK-) cells with the cDNA encoding a monkey Vero cell DT receptor. DTS-II cells are as toxin-sensitive as Vero cells, have approximately 3-fold more receptors than Vero cells, and have approximately 10-fold lower affinity for DT than Vero cells. We now cotransfecte...
متن کاملCytotoxicity of diphtheria toxin A fragment to toxin-resistant murine cells delivered by pH-sensitive immunoliposomes.
pH-sensitive immunoliposomes composed of dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine and oleic acid (8:2 molar ratio) mediated the delivery of the cytotoxic fragment A of diphtheria toxin to the cytoplasm of target L-929 cells. Free fragment A, fragment A encapsulated in antibody-free liposomes, or fragment A encapsulated in pH-insensitive immunoliposomes was not effective in the inhibition of the cellula...
متن کاملSensitivity of Cancer Cells to Truncated Diphtheria Toxin
BACKGROUND Diphtheria toxin (DT) has been utilized as a prospective anti-cancer agent for the targeted delivery of cytotoxic therapy to otherwise untreatable neoplasia. DT is an extremely potent toxin for which the entry of a single molecule into a cell can be lethal. DT has been targeted to cancer cells by deleting the cell receptor-binding domain and combining the remaining catalytic portion ...
