Figure Lengend Snippet: Prokaryotic expression of rPEA and its serological identification in asthma patients. ( A ) The purity and apparent molecular weight of rPEA were determined by Coomassie brilliant blue. The target protein bands are located between 40 and 55 kDa. ( B ) Pie chart showing the proportion of positive and negative rPEA-sIgE in 120 asthma patients' sera. ( C ) Immunoblotting of IgE binding to rPEA using sera from six rPEA-sIgE positive patients (lanes 1–6). Samples of 2.5 μg per lane of rPEA was separated by electrophoresis on 12 % SDS-PAGE prior to transfer to PVDF membrane. Blots were incubated in patient sera (1:20) and then incubated with HRP-conjugated mouse anti-human IgE antibodies and visualized with ECL. M: molecular weight marker. BC: Blank control. NC: Negative control. (D) and (E) Specific IgE competitive ELISA assay. The rPEA-sIgE positive serum was incubated with increasing doses of rPEA ( D ) or P. aeruginosa lysate ( E ). The figure is shown as the inhibition of sIgE binding to plate-bound rPEA. The full, non-adjusted images of gels and blots are presented in .
