Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 1. A Western blot analysis of an affinity- purified anti-neurocan antibody. Adult brain or optic nerve lysates (brain, 30μg; optic nerve, 15μg) treated with Ch'ase ABC were resolved in 2–15% gradient SDS-PAGE gels and immunoblotted with an affiniy-purified anti- neurocan antibody, anti-brevican antibody, and anti-versican-α antibody. Notice the specific bands for the full length neurocan (Ncan full) and proteolytic fragments (Ncan190, Ncan150, and Ncan90). Also notice the absence of cross- reacted bands for link proteins at around 35–45 kDa (asterisk). Ncan: neurocan, Bcan: brevican, V2: versican V2, on: optic nerve.
Article Snippet: We used a rabbit anti-caspr polyclonal antibody ab34151: Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA; 1 μg/ml for immunohistchemistry) and a sheep antimouse/rat neurocan polyclonal antibody (AF5800: R&D systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA; 8 μg/ml for immunohistchemistry and 2 μg/ml for immunoblotting) for our studies.
