WES capillary-based Westerns for Cx46, Cx50, and Aqp0 in whole lens protein lysates from 6-week-old control, EphA2^–/– and ephrin-A5^–/– lenses. Representative gel bands for Aqp0 (30 kDa), Cx46 (60 kDa), and Cx50 (64 kDa) and total protein profiles (12–230 kDa) are shown in pseudo-lane views. (A) Representative electropherogram of Aqp0, Cx46, and Cx50 peaks are plotted for control and EphA2^–/– samples. Dot plots show the average and standard deviation of Aqp0, Cx46, and Cx50 protein levels normalized to the total protein. There is no difference detected between control and KO lenses in the protein amount for Aqp0, Cx46, and Cx50 (p > 0.3). (B) The same analysis was conduced for control and ephrin-A5^–/– lenses. There were no statistically significant differences in Aqp0, Cx46, or Cx50 protein levels detected.
