Figure Lengend Snippet: Western blotting demonstrates HB-EGF processing during OM. (A) Representative blots for rat MEs are shown. The processed form, sHB-EGF, was distinguished from proHB-EGF by its lower molecular weight, (B) Relative band intensity quantification confirms that sHB-EGF increases to a maximum 2 days after administration of 500 μg of Poly(I:C), then progressively decreases. Saline control mucosa at 2 days shows a low sHB-EGF level. N refers to number of samples. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01.
Article Snippet: After quenching endogenous peroxidases, sections were incubated with anti-HB-EGF antibody (rabbit polyclonal, 1:200, Bioss) that recognizes both forms of the factor for 24 hours.
