Figure 4. Specific interaction between AST-C and CamAlstR-C.

Huh7 cells were transfected with empty plasmid (a) or CamAlstR-C construct (b,c). (a) Huh7 cells that were transfected with empty plasmid did not show unbinding events in AFM experiments. (b) CamAlstR-C expressing cells showed specific unbinding events with AST-C peptide. (c) After peptide wash of CamAlstR-C expressing cells, the unbinding events were lost again.
