Disease relevance of Lphn1

  • Functionally, IgG1-Lec 2 and IgG1-Lec 8 were comparable to wild type with respect to in vivo half-life, affinity for Fc gammaRI, and capacity for complement-mediated hemolysis [1].
  • This was partially purified and proved indistinguishable from the natural toxin with respect to its molecular mass, immunostaining, toxicity to mice, binding to alpha-latrotoxin receptors (latrophilin or neurexin Ialpha) and electrophysiological recording in the mouse diaphragm [2].
  • CHOP2 cells, a subline of the Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell glycosylation mutant Lec2 which expresses polyoma virus large T antigen, was used as the host cell line to select cDNAs conferring resistance to the toxic effects of ricin [3].
 

High impact information on Lphn1

 

Biological context of Lphn1

  • CHOP2 cells acquiring cDNA that either corrected the Lec2 mutation or created a Lec2/Lec1 phenotype were expected to show a selective growth advantage in ricin-containing medium [3].
