2012, Journal of Invertebrate PathologyCitation Excerpt :This conclusion is very surprising in that it contradicts decades of work in this field. To cite only a few examples, in vitro trypsin-activated monomeric toxins do efficiently cause structural damage to the midgut epithelium (Bravo et al., 1992), permeabilize the plasma membrane of sensitive cultured insect cells (Guihard et al., 2000; Knowles and Ellar, 1987; Schwartz et al., 1991; Vachon et al., 1995; Villalon et al., 1998), abolish the membrane potential of freshly isolated insect midguts (Peyronnet et al., 1997), inhibit short-circuit currents generated across the isolated insect midgut epithelium (Chen et al., 1993; Liebig et al., 1995), permeabilize insect midgut brush border membrane vesicles (Carroll and Ellar, 1993; Coux et al., 2001; Kirouac et al., 2006a; Tigue et al., 2001) and inhibit amino acid transport into these vesicles (Sacchi et al., 1986; Wolfersberger, 1991). Moreover, most experiments comparing the permeabilization ability of pre-formed oligomers with that of monomers (Gómez et al., 2002; Muñoz-Garay et al., 2006; Pardo-López et al., 2006; Pérez et al., 2007; Rausell et al., 2004a,b,c) were done under conditions that allowed the monomeric toxins to pass through every step of the mechanism of pore formation, including possibly those described by the sequential model.

2008, Journal of Biological ChemistryCitation Excerpt :The LC50 for each toxin was calculated by probit analysis using SoftTox (WindowsChem Software, Inc.). Voltage Clamp Measurements of Cry1A Mutants—Inhibition of short circuit currents (Isc) was measured by clamping M. sexta midguts using procedures described earlier (28). Briefly, 100 ng of purified proteins were added to the lumen side of the gut stabilized in the buffer (30).
