Figure 3. The biochemical characterization of purified HC-HA/PTX3.

Figure 3

HC-HA/PTX3 purified from three donor lots (10 μg of HA each) was digested without (−) or with (+) hyaluronidase (1 U/μg HA) at 37 °C for 1 h and analyzed by Western blot for HC1 (A, using purified human IαI as the control that released HC1 after being treated with 100 mM NaOH at ~25 °C for 1 h), and PTX3 (B, using human recombinant PTX3 as the control). For examining the stability, lyophilized HC-HA/PTX3 was stored at −80 °C for 6 months (6 m) and 12 months (12 m), followed by Western blot (as described above) to check the integrity of HC1 (A) and PTX3 (B). Note: for the clarity, some unused blank lanes were cut off. The full images of all blots were present and exposure (brightness and contrast) was applied to the whole image.
