Purification and assay of kinase-active EGF receptor from mammalian cells by immunoaffinity chromatography.
The epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor possesses intrinsic protein-tyrosine kinase activity, and both overexpressed wild-type and mutated forms have been associated with many types of cancers. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms that modulate receptor activity and function is essential to the development of treatments for many of these cancers. However, to address this issue by either c...
متن کاملPurification of Intact Microtubules from Brain
Hundred-fold purification of intact microtubules from homogenates of rat brain is reported. The success of purification depends on stabilizing the microtubule structure by the combined effects of hexylene glycol, acidic Ph, and low temperature. A practical, negative stain, electron microscopic assay is used to study purity and stability of microtubule fractions. The purified fractions show a ma...
متن کاملPurification and characterization of metabolically active capillaries of the blood-brain barrier.
Microvessels were isolated from bovine and rat cerebral cortex by simple procedures involving mechanical homogenization, differential and density-gradient centrifugation, and chromatography on a column of glass beads. The preparations were composed of short capillaries with a diameter of 1-10 microns. Both purifications were monitored by assaying the activity of the marker enzyme gamma-glutamyl...
متن کاملPhytochrome immunoaffinity purification.
We have developed a phytochrome immunoaffinity purification procedure that yields undegraded oat (Avena sativa L., cv. Garry) phytochrome of greater than 98% purity within 2 hours when starting with a brushite-purified preparation. Immunoaffinity-purified phytochrome, except for its greater purity, is indistinguishable from conventionally purified phytochrome by gel exclusion chromatography, is...
متن کاملCholinergic synaptic vesicles are metabolically and biophysically heterogeneous even in resting terminals.
The metabolic heterogeneity of synaptic vesicles in the cholinergic nerve terminals of the electromotor neurons of Torpedo marmorata has been studied in resting tissue by evaluating the molecular acetylcholine content (MAC) of synaptic vesicles after extraction from frozen and crushed tissue and high-resolution centrifugal density gradient separation in a zonal rotor. Although vesicular acetylc...
