Fig. 6.
Effect of TN-R on TN-R mRNA and protein expression
by cultured OLs, as determined by RT-PCR (A) and Western
blot analysis of OL-conditioned culture media (B). OLs
were maintained for 2 d in vitro on PLL or PLL plus
TN-R 160 substrates, and poly(A+) RNA isolated from these
cells was analyzed by RT-PCR. As control, GAPDH mRNA expression was
analyzed in parallel. The apparent molecular weights of the DNA marker
(in bp) are shown at the left margin in
A. TN-R released into the culture medium from OLs
maintained on PLL (B, lane 1) or PLL plus TN-R 160 (B, lane 2) was immunoprecipitated by using polyclonal
antibodies to TN-R as a carrier. Immunoprecipitates and TN-R 160 used
for the PLL plus TN-R 160 substrate (B, lane 3) were
subjected to SDS-PAGE and Western blot analysis by using monoclonal
antibody 596 recognizing both TN-R isoforms. For ECL detection the
Tropix Western-Light Plus kit was used according to the manufacturer's
instructions. The apparent molecular weights of the two major TN-R
isoforms (in kDa) are shown at the left margin.
