Western blot of CD82 protein expression in prostate cancer cell lines. Lane 1. Protein ladder with Phosphorylase B (110 K), BSA (80 K), Ovalbumin (47 K), and Carbonic Anhydrase (32 K). Lane 2. PC3-5 V metastatic prostate clonal cells with empty vector, Lane 3. PrEC-31 transfected with 40 nM of scrambled siRNA. Lane 4 and 5. PrEC-31 transfected with 30 nM and 40 nM of CD82 siRNA, respectively. Lane 6. empty. Lane 7 and 8. PC3–29 and PC3–57 clonal cells. Restored with CD82, respectively. A heavily glycosylated CD82 runs as a wide band between 30 and 90 KDa. Below is a graph that represents the relative intensity of the CD82 band in different lanes, based on the densitometric analysis of the blot. An uncropped full-length blot is presented in supplementary Fig. S9
