Cholera Toxin Subunit B CF® Dye Conjugates
Fluorescent conjugates of recombinant cholera toxin subunit B. Can be used for tract-tracing in neurological research, targeting GM1 ganglioside binding and retrograde transport.
Product Description
Fluorescent labeled cholera toxin subunit B (CT-B) can be used for tract-tracing in neurological research, targeting GM1 ganglioside binding and retrograde transport. This product is made from purified recombinant CT-B and is completely free of the toxic A subunit.
- Choice of 11 bright & photostable CF® Dyes from green to near-infrared
- Fluorescent lipid raft markers and retrograde neuronal tracers for live imaging or on fixed cells
Cholera toxin is the symptom-causing toxin produced by the bacteria Vibrio cholerae during cholera infection. The toxin is composed of two subunits, A and B. Subunit A is the toxic enzymatic subunit present in one copy per toxin. CT-B is the receptor binding subunit that is found as a pentamer in each toxin and is relatively non-toxic, making it useful for cell biological studies. CT-B has been used as a neuronal tracer and has also been shown to bind to GM1 gangliosides that are found in lipid rafts on the surface of mammalian cells. Therefore, fluorescently labeled conjugates of CT-B have been used as lipid raft markers and endocytic tracers for live imaging or on fixed cells.
Superior CF® Dyes
Biotium’s next-generation CF® Dyes were designed to be highly water-soluble with advantages in brightness and photostability compared to other commercially available dyes. Learn more about CF® Dyes.
Note: Conjugates of blue-fluorescent dyes like CF®350, CF®405S and CF®405M are not recommended for detecting low abundance targets and may be challenging to use in tissue specimens. Blue dyes have lower fluorescence and photostability, and cells and tissue have high autofluorescence in blue wavelengths, resulting in lower signal to noise compared to other colors.
