Figure Lengend Snippet: Effect of pharmacological inhibitors of GABA-A Rs, NKCC1 and VDCCs on hypermotility. ( A, B ) Box-and-whisker dot plots show median velocities (μm/min) of mBMDCs challenged with N. caninum Nc-1 strain ( A ) and Nc-Liverpool strain ( B ) and treated with GABA-A R inhibitors, NKCC1 inhibitor or VDCC inhibitors as indicated, respectively (n = 3 independent experiments). ( C ) Box-and-whisker dot plots show median velocities (μm/min) of hMonocytes challenged with T. gondii (PRU) and treated with GABA-A R inhibitor, NKCC1 inhibitor or VDCC inhibitor, respectively (n = 3 independent experiments). Statistical significance was assessed by ANOVA with Dunnett’s multiple comparison test for ( A, B, C ), ***p
Article Snippet: To probe GABA-A R subunits, cells were incubated with rabbit anti-GABA-A R α3 polyclonal antibody, rabbit anti-GABA-A R α5 polyclonal antibody, rabbit anti-GABA-A R ρ1 polyclonal antibody (all from Alomone labs, Jerusalem, Israel), mouse anti-GABA-A R β3 monoclonal antibody (NeuroMab, UC Davis, CA, US) and for NKCC, with mouse anti-NKCC1/2 monoclonal antibody (clone T4, Developmental Studies Hybridoma Bank, DSHB, Iowa, USA) ON at 4°C.
Techniques: Whisker Assay
