Validation of an LDH assay for assessing nanoparticle toxicity.

abstract：:Aerolysin is a cytolytic toxin which forms channels in the plasma membranes of eucaryotic cells. The protein is secreted by Aeromonas hydrophila as an inactive protoxin. Its stability and water solubility are conferred by its ability to dimerize. Maturation of the protein occurs through proteolytic removal of a C-term...
