Description
Used to create holes (reversible pores) in cholesterol-enriched plasma membranes of eukaryotic cells allowing selective permeabilization with molecules such as proteins (up to 100 kDa) and siRNAs.Streptolysin O is a toxin secreted byStreptococcus pyogenesand is a prototype member of poreforming bacterial cytolysins. It is used permeabilize cell membranes to permit cellular uptake of large or charged molecules. It is used to study macromolecule delivery. It is a potential anticancer agent and is used to study suicide cancer gene therapy.Permeabilizes membranes to permit cellular uptake of large or charged molecules.Preparation instructionsFormLyophilized powder containing Tris buffer salts, sodium azide, PMSF, and EDTA.Principle
