(A) Expression of Ku subunits in Sf9 cells. Sf9 cells
were infected with recombinant baculovirus expressing TdT and His-Ku70
(lane 1); TdT and His-Ku86 (lane 2); TdT and His-Ku70/86 (lane
3); and Ku70/86 (lane 4). Extracts obtained 72 h after
infection were electrophoresed on SDS/10% PAGE and transferred
to a PVDF membrane. The blot was probed with anti-polyHis antibody
(1:5,000 dilution) and developed by using the enhanced
chemiluminescence method. (B) Coimmunoprecipitation of
TdT with Ku subunits. Approximately 50 μg of extract obtained from
single, double, or triple coinfection experiments was incubated with
either the anti-polyHis (lanes 1–3) or anti-TdT 133D2 (lanes 4–6)
mAbs. The immunoprecipitates were resolved by SDS/10% PAGE,
transferred to PVDF membranes, and probed with anti-polyHis (1:5,000
dilution) antibody. The blots were developed as described in Fig. 1.
