Western blot analysis of transient receptor potential vanilloid channel member 5 (TRPV5) and member 6 (TRPV6) protein expression in cultured human retinal pigment epithelium. A: Reactivity with anti-TRPV5 polyclonal antibody 8515 (final concentration 1 µg/ml). The secondary antibody was antigoat immunoglobulin G (IgG) conjugated to alkaline phosphatase (final dilution 1:5,000). Samples were from three different human primary cultures: R established from a 72-year-old Caucasian male and used at passage 72; U established from an 82-year-old Caucasian male and used at passage 42; W established from a 47-year-old Caucasian female and used at passage 16. B: Reactivity with an anti-TRPV6 affinity-purified polyclonal antibody 11A (final concentration 0.5 µg/ml). The secondary antibody was antirabbit IgG conjugated to alkaline phosphatase (final dilution 1:5,000). In B, culture R was used at passage 83, culture U at passage 53, and culture W at passage 27.
