- 2015 July 25, “Botulinum Neurotoxins Can Enter Cultured Neurons Independent of Synaptic Vesicle Recycling”, in PLOS ONE[1], :
- Neuronal cell entry of BoNT/A followed by entry of BoNT/E was further demonstrated by sequentially exposing hemidiaphragm muscle preparations and selectively blocking BoNT/A with 3,4-DAP. This resulted in a recovery similar to BoNT/A and not BoNT/E, confirming sequential cell entry of the toxins [18 ].
