Figure Lengend Snippet: Anti-PrP Sc activity of compounds 1 – 6 on prion-infected MovS6 cells. MovS6 cells were treated with the indicated ranges of concentrations of the molecules, and absolute ethanol was used as a negative control. After 6 days of culture, cell lysates were digested by proteinase K to reveal PrP Sc (top panels) or untreated to reveal PrP C (middle panels) or the loading control Tubulin (bottom panels). Proteins were separated in 10% Bis-Tris polyacrylamide gels and revealed using anti-PrP (Sha31) or anti-tubulin-specific antibodies. The blots shown are representative of two to three independent experiments that all produced similar results. Purealidin Q ( 1 ), aplysamine-2 ( 2 ) and aplysamine-1 ( 5 ) were able to reduce PrP Sc propagation, whereas pseudoceratinine A ( 3 ), aerophobin-2 ( 4 ), and pseudoceratinine-B ( 6 ) were not.
Article Snippet: Membranes were then incubated overnight at 4 °C with 1/40,000 Sha31 primary antibody (Bertin Pharma, Montigny le Bretonneux, France, #A03213) in TBS-T (10 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 0.05% Tween 20).
