FIG. 3.
CP-31398 does not prevent the binding of MDM2 to p53. (A) H460 cells were treated with adriamycin (ADR) or CP-31398 (CP) for 4 h. p53 was immunoprecipitated (IP) with anti-p53 (FL-393; Santa Cruz Biotech). The immunoprecipitated complexes were subjected to SDS-PAGE and probed with anti-p53 (Ab-2; Calbiochem) and anti-MDM2 (Ab-1; Calbiochem) antibodies. (B) H460 cells were infected with Ad/His-p53 and treated with adriamycin or CP-31398. p53 was precipitated with Ni-nitrilotriacetic acid resin prior to SDS-PAGE. MDM2 and p53 were probed with the same antibodies as in panel A. WB, Western blotting; C, control.
