    Description

    Phosphatidylcholine is the main phospholipid component in eukaryotic biofilms. Phosphatidylcholine exists in commensal or pathogenic bacteria associated with eukaryotes in prokaryotes. Phosphorylcholine exhibits a surprising range of immunomodulatory properties[1].

    In Vitro

    Phosphorylcholine is a component of drug delivery micelles, which improves the efficiency of cellular internalization and increases the cytotoxicity of cytotoxins carried in micelles in HeLa cells[2].

    MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

    In Vivo

    Phosphorylcholine (200-600 μmol/kg; ip; single dose) activates nicotinic and muscarinic cholinergic neurotransmission, stimulates the activation of α2-adrenergic receptors, and increases plasma glucagon and choline concentrations, thereby stimulating peripheral autonomic nervous system activity[3].
    Phosphorylcholine (2 μg; ip; once every two weeks for 4 months) induces the production of anti-PC and anti-oxLDL antibodies, increases mature B cells in the spleen, and reduces atherosclerotic lesions in the aortic root in mouse models[4].

    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.
