Application

The kit provides an easy method for obtaining fractions enriched with caveolea/rafts proteins from tissue culture cells. This method for the isolation of caveolae and rafts is based on the insolubility of these structures in ice cold non-ionic detergent Triton X-100. The kit includes all reagents for cells lysis, density gradient, and the isolation of caveolea/rafts protein enriched fraction, as well as two markers for caveolea/rafts compartments, anti-caveolin-1 and cholera toxin B subunit-peroxidase (CTB-HRP).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Caveolae and lipid rafts are important cholesterol and sphingolipid-rich structures that represent a subcompartment or microdomain of the plasma membrane and are implicated in cellular transport and signal transduction related events.

Pathogenic yeast Cryptococcus neoformans causes devastating cryptococcal meningoencephalitis. Our previous studies demonstrated that C. neoformans hyaluronic acid was required for invasion into human brain microvascular endothelial cells (HBMEC), which constitute the blood-brain barrier. In this report, we demonstrate that C.
