Immunologic similarities between the hypothalamic alpha-bungarotoxin receptor and the Torpedo californica nicotinic cholinergic receptor.

Abstract:

:The solubilized rat central nervous system (hypothalamic) nicotinic cholinergic receptor and the Torpedo nicotinic cholinergic receptors are immunologically similar and show greater than 60% immunologic cross-reactivity using a double-antibody technique. Antibodies to the Electrophorus and Torpedo receptors also decrease the rate of alpha-bungarotoxin binding to these membraneous receptors. It is concluded that the Torpedo and hypothalamic nicotinic receptors are immunologically similar and that receptor binding sites for alpha-bungarotoxin and antibodies are physically close. These studies indicate that alpha-bungarotoxin can be used to study the nicotinic cholinergic receptor of the rat hypothalamus.

  • Isoflurane post-conditioning protects primary cultures of cortical neurons against oxygen and glucose deprivation injury via upregulation of Slit2/Robo1.

    abstract::Different mechanisms have been suggested to contribute to isoflurane-mediated neuroprotection. Previous studies have suggested that the protein Slit can abrogate neuronal death in mixed neuronal-glial cultures exposed to oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) and reperfusion (OGD/R). We hypothesized that isoflurane increase...
