Specificity of rabbit polyclonal antibody toward C-terminal heptapeptide of soluble Siglec-14.
A, N-terminal His6-tagged recombinant soluble Siglec-14 proteins (full-length, C-terminally truncated (ΔC), or with R119A mutation) were subjected to nonreducing SDS-PAGE/Western blotting and stained with mouse mAb clone 40-1 (pan-Siglec-14 antibody; left panel) or with rabbit polyclonal antibody against soluble Siglec-14 C-terminal heptapeptide that is unique to the isoform generated by alternative mRNA splicing (right panel). Filled and open arrowheads indicate monomer and dimers of soluble Siglec-14, respectively. B, ELISA standard curves (capture: mouse mAb, clone 194128; detection: clone 40-1 (left panel) or rabbit polyclonal antibody against C-terminal heptapeptide (right panel)) for the standard proteins, N-terminal His6-tagged soluble Siglec-14 (solid circle), and N-terminal His6-tagged and C-terminal truncated soluble Siglec-14 (open circle). Error bars represent standard deviation of technical triplicates.
