11. Involvement of lipid rafts in G protein-coupled monoamine receptor trafficking and signaling : a pharmacological approach
Abstract : The present work focused on lipid raft-mediated modulation of signaling and trafficking of serotonin (5-HT) and dopamine receptors. The 5-HT system is one of the most complex neurotransmitter systems, with a wide distribution both in the CNS and in the periphery. READ MORE

12. Prion-infection and Cellular Signaling : Influence of scrapie-infection on lipid raft-associated proteins
Abstract : Prion diseases are a group of fatal neurodegenerative diseases affecting almost all mammals including humans. The diseases are caused by formation of the misfolded isoform of the cellular prion protein (PrPC) to the disease causing PrPSc. READ MORE

13. Vpu-mediated intracellular targeting of HIV-1 core protein precursor Pr55[gag] and association of Pr55[gag] with lipid microdomains
Abstract : HIV-1 has been suggested to use lipid rafts for assembly and budding. Lipid rafts can be separated from the bulk membranes by extraction with non-ionic detergents, such as Triton X-100 at cold, followed by a density gradient centrifugation. READ MORE

14. Regulation of non-responsiveness and death in cytotoxic T cells by the agonistic potency of MHC : peptide ligands
Abstract : CD8+ T lymphocytes are important for immunological control of infections and tumors. The key interaction required to initiate the process of T cell activation is the engagement of the T cell receptor (TCR) with a major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I/peptide complex on an antigen presenting cell (APC).

15. Leishmania donovani lipophosphoglycan : effects on actin and phagosomal maturation
Abstract : Leishmania donovani promastigotes survive intracellularly in macrophages by inhibiting phagosomal maturation. This ability is conferred by surface lipophosphoglycan (LPG), which is transferred to the host-cell plasma and phagosomal membranes during phagocytosis. READ MORE
