Antibody-mediated functional control of a dansylated polytheonamide mimic†
Abstract
We demonstrate the functional control of a dansylated polytheonamide mimic (2), an artificial ion channel-forming cytotoxic peptide, by the external addition of a polyclonal anti-dansyl antibody (anti-dansyl IgG). The IgG effectively suppressed the ion transport activity and cytotoxicity of 2 in a dose-dependent manner.
