Fig. 10.1. Gene silencing of CEA by RNAi.
(A) Western blot of MCF7 cells treated for 48 h with siRNAs #2043, #497, and a scrambled (Sc) control at a concentration of 100 nM (lanes 2 and 4) or 200 nM (lanes 1, 3, and 5). (B) MCF7 cells treated after 24, 48, and 72 h with 200 nM siRNAs #497 or 200 nM Sc as indicated. Upper panels in both A and B show a Western blot probed with α-CEA T84.66 while the lower panels were treated with anti-β-actin antibody. The percentage of downregulation is indicated below each panel and calculated by comparing CEA downregulation to β-Actin and normalizing to the scrambled control.
