General description
Cholera toxin is a member of the AB5-subunit family of toxins. It consists of a single A subunit responsible for ADP-ribosylation and five B subunits arranged as a pentameric ring with cell surface receptor binding and internalization functions. The A subunit catalyzes the ADP-ribosylation of the α-subunit of the stimulatory G protein (Gαs), leading to increased adenylyl cyclase activity and cAMP levels. It also ADP-ribosylates transducing and tubulin.
Cholera toxin and its A subunit are commonly used to study signal transduction mechanisms due to their impact on adenylate cyclase. Additionally, cholera toxin acts as an adjuvant by stimulating B lymphocytes and T helper cell type 2 responses by inhibiting interleukin-12 production. The non-toxic B subunit (CTB) attaches to cells by binding to ganglioside GM1, making it a useful label for microglial cells in neurological research. It has also proved to be an excellent tracer for axonal transport studies using immunohistochemical methods.

Application
Cholera Toxin from Vibrio cholerae has been used in toxin neutralization assays to assess the cytotoxicity of cells.
Cholera Toxin from Vibrio cholerae has been used as a positive control in cAMP (cyclic AMP) assay for enterotoxins. It has been added as a supplement in cell culture media of primary tumors and epithelial cells.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Toxin consisting of an A subunit (27 kDa) surrounded by five B subunits (approximately 12 kDa each), which attach the toxin to ganglioside GM1 on the cell surface.

Can I dilute the stock solution further with water 1:100 to get 10ng/ml ? if yes how to store it ?
1 answer-
Dilution of the cholera toxin to 10 ng/mL in water is possible. Storage is recommended at 2-8 °C to avoid freezing, as stability in solution at -20 °C has not been determined.

Hey, Can this product be reconstituted to a solution and administered to mice for systemic upregulation of immune cells?
1 answer-
This product has not been tested for use in animal models, however, the preparation does contain sodium azide as a preservative. Azide is reported to have an LD50 of 19 mg/kg in mouse by I.V. route. This is not a sterile preparation, solutions would require filter sterilization prior to in vitro or in vivo use. Please see the link below to review the product datasheet:
