Figure Lengend Snippet: Adolescent and adult Dchs1 expression. ( A , B ) Post-natal LV free wall and mitral valves at day 7 (P7) and P21 mice were stained with HA (red) and MF20 (green). ( C , D ) Western analyses from whole-heart tissue lysates of pups from P7 and P21 probed for HA. Full length (>250 kDa) was barely detectable at this stage, and reduction in the smaller molecular weight is also apparent at both P7 and P21 (arrowheads). At these timepoints, additional smaller fragments are observed, indicating potential degradation of DCHS1. Arrow represents non-specific (n.s.) immunoreactive bands. ( E , F ) Ponceau-S stain showing equivalent protein loading, respectively. Labeled abbreviations: lumen (Lum), trabeculated myocardium (T), myocardium (Myo), epicardium (Epi), mitral valve (MV), and interventricular septum (IVS).
Article Snippet: The following primary antibodies and reagents were used for immunostaining: rabbit anti-HA antibody (Cell Signaling, # 3724; Danvers, MN, USA) at a dilution of 1:250, rat anti-CD31 antibody (Dianova, # DIA-310; Hamburg, Germany) at 1:100, and mouse anti-MF20 antibody (Developmental Studies Hybridoma Bank, Concentrate 0.1 mL; Iowa City, IA, USA) at 1:500.
