Fig. 4. In vivo interaction of anti-CD scFvs with endogenous HP1ß protein. (A)
COS cells were transiently transfected with DNA encoding scFv fragments and
analysed after 48 hours. A western blot analysis was performed with
anti-HP1ß MAC 353 of the insoluble pool from COS fibroblasts transfected
with anti-ßgal scFv (lane 1). Western blot of soluble proteins from COS
cells transfected with anti-ßgal (lane 2), 372nuc (lane 3) and 373nuc
(lane 4) immunopurified using anti-myc 9E10 and then probed with
anti-HP1ß monoclonal antibody MAC 353 is shown. The arrow points to the
HP1ß protein. (B) Western blot analysis of anti-ßgal (lane 1),
372nuc (lane 2) and 373nuc (lane 3) scFv fragments immunopurified from
transfected COS cells, viewed with anti-myc IgG. The migration of molecular
weight markers (in kDa) is shown on the left and the heavy (
) and light
(k) chains are indicted on the right. The arrow points to the anti-ßgal
scFv fragment (lane 1) and the arrowhead points to the anti-CD scFv fragments
(lanes 2 and 3).
