General description

PANSORBIN Cells are heat-killed, formalin-fixed Staphylococcus aureus cells that have a coat of protein A and have been pickled by the method of Kessler. Useful for mitogenic stimulation of B lyphocytes and for immunoprecipitation.
Heat-killed, formalin-fixed Staphylococcus aureus cells (Cowan I strain) that bear a high cell-surface density of protein A and have been pickled by the method of Kessler. Useful as a solid-phase IgG-binding reagent due to the high affinity interaction of protein A with the Fc domain of IgG. PANSORBIN cells work best when the antibody is human (IgG1, IgG2, IgG4), rabbit IgG (all isotypes), or mouse (IgG2a, IgG2b, IgG3). Most common applications include immunoprecipitation and mitogenic stimulation of B lymphocytes.

Palmitoylation refers to the covalent attachment of a 16-carbon fatty acid to cysteine residues of proteins. This modification occurs on many intracellular signaling proteins including regulators of G protein signaling proteins (RGS). Palmitoylation mediates the interaction of proteins with membranes

Recruitment of the 40S ribosome to the 5' end of a eukaryotic mRNA requires assembly of translation initiation factors eIF4E, the cap-binding protein, together with eIF4A and eIF4G into a complex termed eIF4F. While the translational repressor 4E-BP1 regulates binding

Collagen fibers or a glycoprotein VI-specific collagen-related peptide (CRP-XL) stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of the focal adhesion kinase, p125(fak) (FAK), in human platelets. An integrin alpha(2)beta(1)-specific triple-helical peptide ligand, containing the sequence GFOGER (single-letter nomenclature, O = Hyp) was without effect.
