Figure 4. Heregulin-elicited ERK activation in human Schwann cells (hSCs).

Figure 4.

hSCs were plated, deprived of mitogenic factors and serum, and stimulated as per Protocol 3A. The cells were stained with antibodies against the phosphorylated (P-ERK) and total forms of ERK, respectively. hSCs rapidly respond to β1-heregulin by inducing P-ERK and its shuttling to the nucleus. ERK staining is strong and homogeneous in the hSC’s cytoplasm (right panels, control).
