doi: 10.1128/JVI.76.24.12803-12812.2002

Figure Lengend Snippet: Immunoblot analysis of CD40 in whole-cell lysates. Cell monolayers were infected with HCMV TB40E at an MOI of 1 (inf.) or mock infected (noninfected [n.i.]). Cell lysates were prepared at the indicated times and analyzed by immunoblotting. (A) CD40 protein levels were detected with a polyclonal rabbit serum directed against human CD40. (B) Blots from panel A were stripped and reprobed with a rabbit serum directed against calreticulin. (C) Signal intensities from panels A and B were densitometrically quantified; data represent the ratio of CD40 to calreticulin (y axis) versus time p.i. (x axis). (D) Protein lysates from infected or noninfected cells were treated with N-glycosidase F (+) or left untreated (−) prior to immunoblot analysis with anti-CD40 antibodies. Molecular masses are given in kilodaltons.

Article Snippet: The following monoclonal antibodies or polyclonal sera were used: mouse IgG1-fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-conjugated anti-human CD54 (Calbiochem, La Jolla, Calif.), anti-human major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) (BD PharMingen, San Diego, Calif.), mouse IgG1-FITC anti-human CD40 (Dianova, Hamburg, Germany), mouse IgG1-FITC anti-human CD62E (Calbiochem), antibodies G28.5 and Ro1 (anti-human CD40) (gifts from H. Engelmann, Institute for Immunology, University of Munich, Munich, Germany) ( 39 ), polyclonal rabbit anti-CD40 serum (Santa Cruz Biotechnology), rabbit antiserum against human calreticulin (Dianova), biotin-conjugated rabbit anti-mouse antibodies, and biotinylated swine anti-rabbit antibodies (Dako, Hamburg, Germany).
