Association of LT-B and GFP with starch and fibre fractions of transgenic maize kernels. Transgenic maize kernels expressing constructs presented in Fig. 1 were used for small-scale fractionation. Protein extraction from starch and fibre fractions were used for LT-B and GFP determination. (A) Functional LT-B content as a percentage of TAEP. Error bars correspond to the standard deviation of two technical replicates. (B) Anti-GFP Western blot of starch soluble (TAEP) and insoluble (pellet) phases. (C) Anti-GFP Western blot of fibre soluble (TAEP) and insoluble (pellet) phases. P309, Pγzein-GFP; P310, Pγzein-BSP-LT-B::GFP; P311, Pγzein-ZSP-LT-B::GFP; P315, Pγzein-BSP-GFP; GFP, commercial EGFP standard. Arrowheads, GFP. Open arrowhead, possible truncated form of GFP. Asterisks, LT-B::GFP fusion. Dots, possible cleavage peptides cross-react to GFP antibody. Multiple EGFP bands in GFP standard may be due to incomplete protein denaturation during boiling before loading.
