Abstract excerpt
The cytolytic P2X7 purinoceptor is widely expressed on leucocytes and has sparked interest because of its peculiar ability to induce a large nonselective membrane pore following treatment of cells with ecto-ATP. Antibodies raised against synthetic P2X7 peptides generally work well in Western-Blot analyses but fail to recognize the native protein on the cell surface. Genetic immunization is a useful technique to...
