Effect of Complement on Phosphotyrosine Content of RTKs in GEC
RTK | Phosphotyrosine (% control) |
---|---|
EGF-R | 204 ± 12* |
Neu | 384 ± 83† |
FGF-R2 | 344 ± 153‡ |
Met | 296 ± 61† |
GEC were incubated with anti-GEC antibody and normal serum to form C5b-9, or with heat-inactivated serum in controls (as in Figure 1 ▶ ). Lysates were immunoprecipitated with antibodies to RTKs and immunoblotted with antibody to phosphotyrosine. Phosphotyrosine content was measured by densitometry.
*P < 0.0001,
†P < 0.01,
‡P = 0.05 versus control; each group consists of 3 to 4 experiments.
