Article Title: Fibrinogen-Related Protein, Fgl2, of Hamster Cauda Epididymal Fluid: Enzymatic Characterization, and Identification of Fgl2-Binding Proteins and Ligand of Defective Hamster Sperm Organelles
doi: 10.23880/ijbp-16000228
Figure Lengend Snippet: Triton X-100 soluble fraction of cauda sperm (50μg protein) was immunoprecipitated with anti-FGL2 and fractionated by SDS-PAGE on a 12% gel followed by immunoblot analyses. Immunoreactive bands were detected by LICOR Odyssey CVX imaging system. Sperm lysate lanes reveal the presence of FGL2 (A-lane 1) and Annexin V (B-lane 3). As shown in figure A-lane 2, FGL2 was recovered in the anti-FGL2 immunoprecipitated (IP) pellet, whereas Annexin V co-precipitated with FGL2 (Figure B-lane 4).
Article Snippet: Immunoblots were blocked with TBS (0.15 M NaCl, 20 mM Tris-HCl Buffer, pH 7.5) containing 0.1% Tween 20 and 1% BSA and then incubated with immune serum (rabbit polyclonal anti-FGL2/ rabbit monoclonal fibrinogen beta chain [abcam] /mouse monoclonal Annexin V/ ANXA5 [abcam] antibodies) or nonimmune serum diluted in TBS containing 0.1% Tween 20 (TBS-TW) and 1% BSA.
