Table 1. Comparison of obtained and expected molecular masses of native IMPI and rIMPIs.
The differences between the obtained and expected molecular masses are hypothetically due to distinct glycosylation in the Drosophila expression system. Therefore we include possible N- and O-glycosylation sites along the IMPI coding and vector-derived amino acid sequences
