Figure Lengend Snippet: Immunoadsorption of anti-FLOT1/2 antibodies . HEK293 cells co-transfected with mammalian-expression vectors encoding human FLOT1 and FLOT2 double-stained with serum immunoadsorbed with non-transfected cells ( A ), FLOT1-transfected cells ( D ), FLOT2-transfected cells ( G ) or FLOT1 and FLOT2 co-transfected cells ( J ); and with commercial antibody against FLOT1 ( B , E , K ) or FLOT2 ( H ). Reactivity against the FLOT-1/2 complex was lost after serum pre-adsorption with HEK cells co-expressing FLOT1 and FLOT2 ( L ), but not after pre-adsorption with cells transfected with FLOT1 ( F ) or FLOT2 ( I ) alone or with non-transfected HEK cells ( C ).
Article Snippet: First, all the samples were analysed for IgG reactivity on commercial slides containing biochips with cells co-expressing FLOT1 and FLOT2 proteins (Euroimmun, Lübeck, Germany).
Techniques: Transfection, Expressing, Staining, Adsorption
