Fig. 1. Immunological detection of DMPO-protein adducts in spleen tissue homogenates.
Spleen tissue homogenates from mice treated as described in the materials and methods were examined by immunological methods and Coomassie blue staining. A) ELISA analysis using anti-DMPO polyclonal rabbit antiserum showing values significantly different (P<0.05) from the sham sample indicated by an asterisk (*) and values significantly different (P<0.05) from the sham+DMPO sample indicated by a #. B) Representative Western blots analyzed with anti-actin antibody (top panel) as a loading control and anti-DMPO antibody (middle-panel). The bottom panel shows the relative band intensity of the data from the anti-DMPO Western blot. Values represent the mean ± SE, with values significantly different (P<0.05) from the sham sample indicated by an asterisk (*) and values significantly different (P<0.05) from the sham+ DMPO sample indicated by #. C) Coomassie blue-stained gel indicating a 47 kD band used for MALDI-TOF.
