Abstract
Considerable acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity was detected in anAedes aegypti established cell line. The enzyme is blocked by 10−6 M eserine sulfate, displays excess substrate inhibition and slowly hydrolyzes butyrylthiocholine. A 2-fold stimulation of AChE activity was shown after 2 days exposure to 3×10−7 M β-ecdysone. AChE activity found in the fresh medium is the contribution of the fetal calf serum portion. A direct relationship between levels of serum and the AChE activity in the cultured cells was demonstrated.This publication has 21 references indexed in Scilit:
