Figure 5.

Silver-stained gel showing the major tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins in podocytes. In order to identify the key tyrosine phosphorylated proteins, podocyte lysates were subjected to immunoprecipitation with mouse antiphosphotyrosine antibody. The products of the immunoprecipitation were run on polyacrylamide gels and visualised by silver staining. The unbound proteins are shown in lane A, and the bound (ie, tyrosine phosphorylated) proteins in lane B. Proteins bands 1–5 were excised from the polyacrylamide gel and subjected to in-gel proteolytic digestion before their analysis and identification using mass spectrometry.
