Fig. 2. Distribution of Lyn, CD55, TfR and Fc
RII in density gradient
fractions. U937 cells unexposed to inhibitors (controls, Ctrl) or preincubated
with 1 mM HMA, 0.3 mM BPA or 5 mM CDX were lysed and fractionated on a density
gradient in the presence of 0.2% TX-100. Fractions were immunoblotted for the
presence of Lyn, CD55 and TfR (A) or biotin-labeled IV.3 anti-Fc
RII
reflecting the receptor distribution (B). In B, the distribution of
cross-linked (+) and non-crosslinked (-) Fc
RII is shown; in A, proteins
of fractions derived prior to Fc
RII labeling are demonstrated. Plots
display the results of densitomeric analysis of the blots shown above. The
estimated amounts of an individual protein in fractions are expressed as a
percentage of this total protein content in the whole gradient. Symbols used
for visualization of various experimental conditions in plots of (A) and (B)
are shown at the bottom of panel (B). The results are representative of three
to five separate experiments.
