Detection of appican in ECM. ECM was prepared from untransfected, KL-APP733-transfected, and KL-APP733S/A-transfected C6 cell cultures labeled with [35SO4 ] for 24 hr. Labeled ECM fractions were extracted and immunoprecipitated with α-5 antibody, and immunoprecipitates were analyzed on 6% SDS-PAGE (see Materials and Methods). Lane 1, ECM fraction from untransfected C6 cells; lane 2, ECM fraction from KL-APP733-transfected C6 cells; lane 3, ECM fraction from KL-APP733-transfected C6 cells treated with chondroitinase ABC; lane 4, ECM fraction from KL-APP733S/A-transfected C6 cells.
