Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence: Clostridium Difficile Toxin A Antibody (PCG4.1) [NB600-1066] - TcdA colocalizes with PACSIN2 during entry in Caco-2 cells. Immunofluorescence assays were performed as described in Fig 1B. At indicated time points, cells were fixed, stained for PACSIN2 and analyzed by confocal microscopy. Merged images show PACSIN2 in red, toxin in green and colocalization in yellow. The images shown are representative of multiple fields imaged from three independent experiments.

Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence: Clostridium Difficile Toxin A Antibody (PCG4.1) [NB600-1066] - TcdA and TcdB utilize distinct endocytic mechanisms to intoxicate colonic epithelial cells. TcdA does not colocalize with clathrin heavy chain during cell entry. Caco-2 cells on glass coverslips were chilled at 10C for 45 min and then exposed to media containing 50 nM TcdA-546 or buffer (no toxin control). The toxin was allowed to bind to cells for 45 min at 10C. Unbound toxin was removed, and cells were shifted to 37C to allow internalization of toxin for the times shown. At each time point, cells were washed once with pre-warmed PBS, fixed and stained for CHC, and imaged by confocal microscopy. Merged images show clathrin in red and toxin in green.

Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence: Clostridium Difficile Toxin A Antibody (PCG4.1) [NB600-1066] - Depletion of PACSIN2 inhibits TcdA entry in Caco-2 cells. Caco-2 cells expressing non-targeting shRNA (Ctrl shRNA) or shRNA 982 targeting PACSIN2 were incubated with 50 nM TcdA-546 at 10C for 45 min. Unbound toxins were removed and cells were shifted to 37C to allow internalization. After 20 min, cells were washed, fixed, stained for PACSIN2 and imaged by confocal microscopy. PACSIN2 and TcdA staining from ctrl shRNA and sh982 expressing cells are shown. The images shown are representative of multiple fields imaged from three independent experiments.

Background: Toxin A/TcdA

Clostridium difficile, or C. difficile, a gram positive anaerobic bacterium, is the major causative agent of colitis and diarrhoea that can occur following antibiotic intake. C. difficile infection is one of the most common hospital acquired infections. When C. difficile colonize the gut, they release two potent toxins, toxin A and toxin B, which bind to certain receptors in the lining of the colon and ultimately cause diarrhoea and inflammation of the large intestine.
