Figure Lengend Snippet: Cleavage by mutant furin . ΔFur293 cells stably expressing transgenic furin mutants (FurADA, FurDDD, and FurAla-295) were incubated for various time intervals from 0.5 to 8 h in culture with the anti-transferrin receptor/PE24 RIT HB21-LR. Whole cell lysates were evaluated for full length and cleaved HB21-LR by western blot (panel A) and densitometry as described. Also shown are untreated (U) cell lysates for each cell line, HB21-LR in vitro with (+) and without (−) furin treatment, and the β-actin loading control. The ratio between the furin-cleaved band intensity and the total intensity of all RIT bands at each time point is plotted in panel B. The individual densitometric analysis values (points) and mean (bar) for at least two internalization and cleavage assays in each cell line are shown.
Article Snippet: For furin expression level analysis, mouse anti-furin antibody (mAb, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, sc-133141), mouse anti-β-actin (mAb, Thermo Fisher Scientific, BA3R), and goat anti-mouse IgG alkaline phosphatase conjugated antibody (mAb, Santa Cruz Biotechnology: sc-2058) were used.
