Brevetoxin-B (0.011-1.11 μM; 10 min) concentration-dependently modulates multiple presynaptic ion currents at motor nerve terminals in mouse sternal deltoid muscle preparations: at a concentration of 0.11 μM, it enhances sodium and potassium currents while inhibiting calcium-activated potassium currents and slow calcium currents; at a concentration of 1.11 μM, it inhibits all detected ion currents[1].
Brevetoxin B (0-10 μg/mL; 0-48 h) affects the viability of Jurkat cells, causing a significant concentration- and time-dependent decrease in cellular metabolic activity[2].
Brevetoxin B (0-10 μg/mL; 3 h) significantly induces caspase-3-dependent apoptosis in Jurkat cells[2].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
