Dictyostelium disoideum amoebas

NHS esters of D-biotin have been used in many applications, including the biotinylation of rat IgE to study receptors on murine lymphocytes (Lee and Conrad, 1984), in the development of an immunochemical assay for a postsynaptic protein and its receptor (LaRochelle and Froehner, 1986a), in the study of plasma membrane domains by biotinylation of cell surface proteins in Dictyostelium disoideum amoebas (Ingalls et al., 1986), and for the detection of blotted proteins on nitrocellulose membranes after transfer from polyacrylamide electrophoresis gels (LaRochelle and Froehner, 1986b).
