摘要: The effect of Bordetella pertussis adenylate cyclase toxin (ACT) on platelet aggregation was investigated. This cell-invasive completely suppressed ADP (10 μM)-induced rabbit platelets at 3 μg/ml and strongly thrombin (0.2 U/ml)-induced 10 μg/ml. suppression accompanied by marked increase in intracellular cyclic AMP (cAMP) content diminished the anti-ACT monoclonal antibody B7E11. A catalytically inactive point mutant ACT did not show suppressive effect. Since an cAMP is a known cause dysfunction, these results indicate that observed inactivation due to catalytic activity through cAMP.
