Evidence was presented earlier that a host-cell receptor for the highly neurotropic rabies
virus might be the acetylcholine receptor. The amino acid sequence of the glycoprotein of …

The α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) is well established as the principal high-affinity
α-bungarotoxin-binding protein in the mammalian brain. We isolated carbachol-sensitive …

Recent years have seen rapid and significant advances in our understanding of the G-protein-coupled
γ-amino butyric acid, B-type (GABA B ) receptor, which could be a therapeutic …

Peptides corresponding to portions of loop 2 of snake venom curare‐mimetic neurotoxins
and to a structually similar region of rabies virus glycoprotein were synthesized. Interaction of …

Phosphatidylserine, normally a trace phospholipid in Escherichia coli, accumulates at high
levels in temperature-sensitive phosphatidylserine decarboxylase mutants at nonpermissive …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses long-term primary culture of dissociated neurons,
a technique that proved to be a valuable tool in studies of neuronal development and …
