Alpha Innotech densitometry fluorchem 8800
Western blot analysis of PMCA4a expression in murine testis and epididymal tissue (A) and ELF (B, D). Twenty and 45 μg of protein/lane were loaded in A and B, respectively. PMCA4a was detected using a rabbit polyclonal anti-bovine PMCA4a antibody (1:175 dilution) in A, and a rabbit polyclonal anti-rat PMCA4a antibody (1:500 dilution) in B. A shows the presence of PMCA4a in the testis and all three epididymal regions, while B shows PMCA4a in purified ELF from each of the three epididymal regions. Blots of the latter were stripped and reprobed for β-actin as a loading control, and PMCA4a band intensities were analyzed by <t>densitometry</t> using Image J software. The relative expression in corpus/cauda compared to the caput is displayed in a bar graph in C. Values are expressed as means ± SD (n = 3), with expression highest in the cauda (*P = 0.014 versus caput). D shows immunoblotting of proteins from pellet and supernatant fractions of equivalent volumes of ELF, following ultracentrifugation. PMCA4a, seen in the pellet, is absent from the supernatant. An immunopositive band (100 kDa) which is also seen in A is of unknown origin, but most likely a breakdown product as it is much fainter in the unprocessed ELF and is not seen in B.

Article Snippet: .. To quantify the relative expression of CASK, densities of the protein bands were analyzed by densitometry (FluorChem 8800, Alpha Innotech Corp., San Leandro, CA), and the ratio of CASK:HSC70 plotted. .. Co-immunoprecipitation To detect associations between JAM-A and CASK, and CASK and PMCA4 in sperm, coimmunoprecipitation studies were undertaken using sperm protein extracts, containing protease inhibitor CompleteTM (Roche Diagnostics, Indianapolis, IN), prepared in the solubilization buffer, as described above.
