Cross-linking LTBP-1 in BAE CM to UMR-106 ECM by Factor XIIIa. (A) UMR-106 and BAE cultures were metabolically labeled using [35S]cysteine and CM were immunoprecipitated using Ab 39 serum. LTBP-1 immunoprecipitates (IPs) from CM were separated by nonreducing SDS-PAGE and visualized by fluorography. (B) Matrix incorporation reactions were done using metabolically labeled CM from BAE or UMR-106 cells and UMR-106 ECMs. The cross-linking reaction was catalyzed by Factor XIIIa in the absence (−) or presence (+) of 50 μM MDC. Matrix digests were prepared by plasmin digestion and immunoprecipitated using Ab 39 serum. Immunoprecipitates were analyzed by reducing SDS-PAGE and fluorography.
