Fig. 5. MT-affinity isolation of subcellular membranes from resting and
CCH-stimulated acini. Lacrimal acini were incubated without (Con) and with CCH
(100 µM, 15 minutes) and processed to isolate membranes using MT-affinity
and release with excess ATP. Western blots using appropriate primary and
IRDyeTM800-conjugated secondary antibodies from a representative
preparation are shown in A, whereas B depicts summary data showing the
contents of DIC and VAMP2 in MT-affinity, ATP release fractions under each
condition. 40 µg of protein from resting and CCH-stimulated membrane
samples were loaded under each condition. n=4-5 separate
preparations. *Significant increase at P
