Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Western blotting for hEphA2. Cell lysates were separated by 10% SDS-PAGE and transferred onto nitrocellulose membranes. The proteins were detected with an anti-hEphA2 antibody. (B) Surface expression of hEphA2. Cells (2 × 10 5 ) were stained with a mouse anti-hEphA2 antibody and FITC-conjugated rat anti-mouse IgG antibody. Black line, unstained cells; red line, only second Ab; blue line, anti-EphA2. (C) Quantitation of hEphA2 on the cell surface. Concentrations of hEphA2 on the cell surface were measured against an anti-rat Bangs bead standard. Data represent mean ± S.D., and asterisks (*) indicate a significant difference compared SKBR3 and PC3 cells (*, P < 0.001). (D) Measurement of E1 monobody binding to cells. Cells were incubated with 100 nM Cy5.5-conjugated E1h monobody and analyzed by FACS. Black lines, unstained cells; red lines, E1h-Cy5.5. (F) Fluorescence microscopy images of cells stained with an anti-hEphA2 antibody or E1h-Cy5.5 monobody. Cell nuclei were stained with 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI). Magnification of the inset with indivisual and merged images is given in the lower low. Scale bar, 20 μm. The results are representatives of at least three independent experiments.
Article Snippet: Cell pellets (1×10 6 cells) detached from cell culture plates were resuspended in SDS sample buffer and boiled for 5 min. After separation by 10% SDS-PAGE, proteins were transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA), and hEphA2 was detected with a mouse anti-hEphA2 antibody (1:500 dilution, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, CA) and horseradish peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG (1:2000 dilution, Lifetechnology, Inc., Grand Island, NY) combination.
