FIG. 7.
A 60-kDa precursor glycoprotein is synthesized by intracellular parasites and processed to produce gp15 and gp45 products. GalNAc-containing O-linked glycoproteins were affinity purified on HPA-agarose from uninfected (lane 1) and C. parvum-infected MDCK monolayers 11 h postinfection (lane 2), eluted with GalNAc, fractionated by SDS-PAGE, blotted, and probed with rat anti-gp45 polyclonal antiserum (A) or MAb CrA2 (B). The positions of the gp60 precursor (A and B, asterisk) and the presumptive gp15 (B, arrow) and gp45 (A, arrowhead) proteolytic products are indicated.
