Comparative Biochemical and Immunocytochemical Studies Reveal Differences in the Effects of Clostridium perfringens Enterotoxin on Polarized CaCo-2 CellsVersus Vero Cells
1 Sept 2001
Abstract excerpt
Since most in vitro studies exploring the action of Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin (CPE) utilize either Vero or CaCo-2 cells, the current study directly compared the CPE responsiveness of those two cell lines. When CPE-treated in suspension, both CaCo-2 and Vero cells formed SDS-resistant, CPE-containing complexes of approximately 135, approximately 155, and approximately 200 kDa. However, confluent...
