Figure Lengend Snippet: MC.IFNλ3 induce JAK1 and STAT1/STAT2 phosphorylation in HepG2.2.15 cells. HepG2.2.15 cells were transfected with MC vectors. The levels of a STAT1/STAT2 proteins and their phosphorylated form (p-STAT1/p-STAT2), b JAK1 and phosphorylated JAK1 (p-JAK1) in transfected HepG2.2.15 cells were determined by Western Blot at 6 days post-transfection. Lane 1, 2 and 3 represents untreated Control, MC.IFNα, and MC.IFNλ3 group, respectively
Article Snippet: After blocked the non-specific binding sites with 5% skim milk in TBST (Sigma, US), the membrane was subjected to immunoblotting using a primary antibody listed as below: the rabbit polyclonal antibody specific to IFN⍺ (ProteinTech, US; #18013–1-AP) and IFNλ3 (ProteinTech, US; #24199–1-AP); the rabbit monoclonal antibodies specific to JAK1 (Cell Signaling Technology, US; #3344) and phosphorylated JAK1 (p-JAK1) (Cell Signaling Technology, US; #3331); the rabbit polyclonal or monoclonal antibodies specific to STAT1 (Abcam, UK; #ab2415), STAT2 (Abcam, UK; #ab53149), phosphorylated STAT1 (p-STAT1) (Cell Signaling Technology, US; #9171) and phosphorylated STAT2 (p-STAT2) (Millipore, US; #07–224).
