SDS-PAGE and Western blot analysis of mice urine samples. Urine of mice treated daily with vehicle saline or crotamine, by intraperitoneal (ip) route 1.5 h before urine collection, were applied to a 15% SDS-PAGE before the (a) staining with Coomassie blue, (b) silver staining, or (c) Western blot analysis with anti-crotamine antibody followed by development with alkaline phosphatase substrates NBT/BCIP. The presence of a protein band of about 5 kDa, corresponding to the full-length crotamine, is indicated by the arrows. MW: molecular weight markers (kDa), lane 1: native crotamine (100 ng), lane 2: urine of drug-naïve mouse receiving a single injection of vehicle saline (100 µL/animal), lane 3: urine of drug-naïve mouse receiving a single injection of native crotamine (30 µg/100 µL/animal), lane 4: urine of negative control mice treated daily with vehicle (100 µL/animal) for 21 days, and lane 5: urine of mice treated daily with crotamine (1 μg/100 µL/animal) for 21 days. In each lane, 5 µL of urine sample were loaded. The gels (a and b) and blot (c) are cropped along the edges. Complete uncropped blots/gels are presented in Supplementary Figure 3.
