Figure 2. Immunoblotting analysis of phosphorylated tau in the Tris-soluble fraction.

Figure 2

(A) Immunoblot analysis was visualized using AT8 antibody for the Tris-soluble fraction. The numbers indicate individual mice: 1–15, MB 1 mg/kg/day group; 16–30, MB 0.3 mg/kg/day group; and 31–44, water only group. Molecular weight markers are shown on the right (kDa). P, positive control (P301L tau transgenic mouse, 20 month-old female). (B) A comparison of relative phosphorylated tau (AT8) expression levels of the MB-treated groups and the water only group. The data were compared with the AT8 band intensity, which was normalized with α-tubulin. (C) A comparison of the relative phosphorylated tau (AT8)/total tau (HT7) levels of the MB-treated groups and the water only group. The data were compared with the AT8 band intensity, which was normalized with the total tau (HT7) band intensity. The central lines indicate medians and the vertical lines represent 25th and 75th percentiles. a.u., arbitrary unit. N.S., no significant difference.
