Figure 2. Generation of the affinity-purified rabbit anti-PP antibody and purification of rPP and rC-DMP-1 proteins.

Figure 2

(A) The affinity-purified rabbit anti-PP antibody, whole antisera (unpurified anti-PP antisera), and column flow-through solution were titrated using ELISA through serial dilutions ranging from 1∶1,000 to 1∶64,000. Each value represents the mean of triplicate determinations. (B) To examine the specificity of this rabbit anti-PP antibody, the dentin extract was dot-blotted onto a nitrocellulose membrane and PP was detected with the rabbit anti-PP antibody (1∶2,500). (C) The rPP protein (500 ng) appeared as a single band on SDS-PAGE, as observed with Stains-All staining, and the molecular size of this single band was concomitant with the protein band identified by anti-PP. The rC-DMP-1 protein (1 µg) appeared as a single band on SDS-PAGE, as observed using Stains-All and Coomassie brilliant (CBB) staining, which confirmed the purities of these rPP and rC-DMP-1 proteins for further experimental use.
