Fig. 7. Expression of LTBP-4 fragments and immunoblotting from cell conditioned
medium. Expression constructs pFull, p
8-Cys3rd and
p
24 8-Cys were transfected into 293T cells and serum-free cell
conditioned media were collected for 48 hours. Aliquots of the media were
separated by 4-15% SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, transferred to
nitrocellulose filters and immunoblotted with the indicated antibodies.
-HA antibody recognizes the C-terminal HA-tag of the constructs,
whereas #28-3 and #33-4 recognize the 3rd and 4th 8-Cys
repeats of LTBP-4, respectively (Saharinen et al.,
1998). The mobilities of the
molecular weight markers (kDa) are shown on the left.
