Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 4 Representative immunoblot analysis of brainstem protein ex- tracts from a a-synuclein (A30P) transgenic (tg) mouse and a wild-type (wt) control animal using antibodies against phospho-LIM kinase 1 and total LIM kinase 1 (LIMK1), respectively. Phosphorylation of LIM ki- nase 1 at Thr508, which becomes phosphorylated by p21-activated kinases, is decreased in transgenic mice. Glyceraldehyde-3-phos- phate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) was assessed as loading control.
Article Snippet: After blocking in buffer containing 20 mmol/L Tris, pH 7.4, 500 mmol/L NaCl, 0.1% Tween 20, and 5% BSA for 90 min, the membranes were incubated overnight with rabbit polyclonal antibodies against phospho-LIM kinase 1 (Thr508) or total LIM kinase 1 (LIMK1) (1 : 1000, Cell Signaling Technology, Beverly, CA, USA) or with rabbit antibodies against full-length a-synuclein (1 : 500, ASY-1, Jensen et al. 2000).
