Figure 3. Electrophoretic mobility and specificity of antibodies.

Figure 3

A. Left panel: SDS-PAGE of purified antibodies under reducing conditions followed by Coomasie Brilliant Blue-R staining revealed in all cases an approximately 25 kDa band corresponding to the L-chain. Right panel: Under non-reducing conditions the antibodies are shown to migrate as a L-chain dimer. B. Western blot of MDA-MB-453 cell lysates using mAb 4C5, rec-4C5, ch-4C5 and a commercial anti-HSP90α antibody, serving as positive control. In all cases a single 90 kDa immunoreactive band corresponding to HSP90 is observed. C. Immunoprecipitation in MDA-MB-453 cell lysates with anti-HSP90α, followed by immunoblotting with either the murine or the recombinant antibodies. In all cases a single immunoreactive band is observed. D. Reverse immunoprecipitation experiments in MDA-MB-453 cell lysates using mAb 4C5, rec-4C5 and ch-4C5, followed by western blot with anti-HSP90α. In all cases a single immunoreactive band is observed indicating that both recombinant antibodies recognize HSP90.
