Fig. 6. Anti-FLAG-antibody purification of FLAG-tagged prion proteins from BHK
cells. (A and B) Total cell extracts from transfected BHK cells expressing
huPrP227FLAG (A) or boPrP239FLAG (B) were analyzed by western blotting
employing the mAb anti-PrP 3B5. In order to purify FLAG-tagged PrP, crude
lysates (A and B, lanes 1) were bound to anti-FLAG M2 affinity gel (A, B,
lanes 2) and eluted by competition with FLAG peptides (A and B, lanes 3). The
arrows indicate the heavy and the light chain of the mAb anti-FLAG M2 (A and
B, lanes 2). (C) The silver-stained gel shows purified glycosylated
huPrP227FLAG and boPrP239FLAG.
