Figure 2Molecular forms of SI in CSID and in normal control. Biopsy samples from a patient with CSID and a normal control were biosynthetically labeled for the indicated times with
35S-methionine. (
a) The specimens were homogenized, solubilized, and immunoprecipitated with monoclonal anti-SI antibodies. The immunoprecipitates were divided into two equal parts; one part was treated with Endo H and the other was not treated. Finally the samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE on 6% slab gels. Gels were analyzed by fluorography. (
b) Direct comparison of Endo H–treated immunoprecipitates from the patient with CSID and the control shown in
a. The additional band appearing in the CSID samples in
a and
b is indicated by an arrowhead. (
c) The detergent extracts of the biopsy samples from the patient and the control were also immunoprecipitated with mAb’s directed against LPH and aminopeptidase N (ApN), which served as control brush border glycoproteins. The immunoprecipitates were analyzed on SDS-PAGE on 6% slab gels.
