Fig. 6B. Dynein, dynactin and secretory and biosynthetic compartment markers after
density gradient analysis of resting and CCH-stimulated acini. Lacrimal acini
incubated without (resting) and with CCH (100 µM, 15 minutes) were
processed by isopycnic centrifugation on sorbitol density gradients. The
distributions of VAMP2,
-adaptin, acid phosphatase, rab3D and rab6.
Fractions were pooled for VAMP2 and
-adaptin to conserve material for
western blotting. Left and middle columns show distributions of markers from
resting and CCH-stimulated acini, respectively, whereas the right columns show
CCH-induced changes. n=3-8 preparations; error bars represent s.e.m.
*P<0.05.
