Figure 1. Identification, by immunoblots, of the epitope recognized by anti-α-SKA (A) and anti-α-CAA (B).
Purified α-SKA ( A) or α-CAA ( B) was run on 10% SDS-PAGE and transferred on nitrocellulose membrane. Membrane strips were incubated with the mAb anti-α-SKA ( A) or anti-α-CAA ( B) alone (control, lane 1) or mixed with the listed peptides (2–9). The epitope recognized by anti-α-SKA ( A) includes the acetyl group and the first 7 amino acids of the α-SKA sequence. The epitope recognized by anti-α-CAA ( B) includes the acetyl group and the first 5 amino acids of the α-CAA sequence.
