Notizen:
L cells and mouse 3T3 cells, which are very sensitive to Pseudomonas aeruginosa exotoxin A (PEA), were protected with weak bases and low concentrations of monensin. BHK cells and a number of other cell lines which are much less sensitive to PEA were much less protected under these conditions. Trifluoperazine, dansylcadaverine, and several other calmodulin antagonists strongly sensitized BHK cells to the toxin whereas they did not affect the sensitivity of the mouse 3T3 and L cells. The sensitization of the BHK cells was counteracted by treatment with weak bases or low concentrations of monensin. Calmodulin antagonists also sensitized cells to toxin which had become inaccessible to antitoxin, indicating that the effect of the calmodulin antagonists is exerted on a process taking place after the toxin is endocytosed.
