Fig. 2. Immunoblot analysis of tobacco BY-2 cell extracts. (A) Extracts from cells
expressing the Spc98p-GFP fusion protein. Lane 1, anti-
-tubulin
(1/5000); lane 2, anti-ß-tubulin (1/5000); lane 3, anti-
-tubulin
(1/1000), which does not crossreact with
- or with ß-tubulin; lane
4, anti-GFP (1/2000) reveals one band at the expected size of the fusion
protein; lane 5, anti-Spc98pB (1/1000) reveals the endogenous Spc98p (95 kDa,
double arrow) as well as the fusion protein (125 kDa, arrow). (B) Lanes 6 to
8, affinity-purified antibodies directed against three Spc98 peptides (pA, pB
and pC) were tested on control BY-2 extracts; best results were obtained using
the pB peptide (DLDSIAKDYTSSLDA), a plant/animal consensus sequence.
Antibodies directed against the C-terminal peptide pC did not crossreact with
BY-2 extracts.
