A 0.2-g aliquot of each organ was washed, sliced, and lysed overnight in immunoprecipitation lysis buffer. Lysates were clarified, and the supernatants were subjected to immunoprecipitation.
The relative abundance of the immunoprecipitated product was visually estimated on Coomassie blue-stained SDS-polyacrylamide gels. ++, very abundant; +, fairly abundant; ±, hardly visible; −, not detectable.
