Fig. 7. Effects of elongation mutations on GPI anchoring and expression level. A
western blot with rabbit anti-VSG 117, showing the release of VSG117 511FK (A)
and VSG117Ty (B). Aliquots representing 2x104 cells were
loaded per lane. Lanes C, P1, P2 and S contain, respectively, whole cells,
pellet after lysis, and pellet and supernatant after GPIPLC activation. (C)
Comparison of VSG expression in four independent clones of VSG117TM, which is
not GPI anchored. Aliquots representing 2x104 cells and
2x106 cells were loaded for T7-VSG117 and VSG 117TM,
respectively.
