Description
- Cholera toxin B subunit (CT-B) attaches to cells by binding to ganglioside GM1, making it powerful tool for retrograde labeling of neurons
- This tracer has been used in variety of applications, including tracing of rat forebrain afferents, projections of parabrachial region, and neurons of the urinary bladder wall
- When used in neuronal tracing applications, CT-B is typically introduced by pressure injection or by iontophoretic injection into neural tissue
- Lyophilized product can be dissolved in buffer (e.g., PBS) for use
- More recently, researchers have found that CT-B can be used as a marker for lipid rafts, which are membrane microdomains enriched in cholesterol and sphingolipids thought to be important in cell signaling
- For lipid raft staining, cells are first incubated with fluorescent CT-B, then an anti-CT-B antibody is added to crosslink the CT-B in the lipid rafts into distinct patches on the plasma membrane
- These patches are easily visualized by fluorescence microscopy
- Label (Ex/Em): Alexa Fluor™ 647 (650/668nm)
- At neutral pH, the 11.4 kDa B subunit exists as a 57 kDa pentamer
