Fig. 2. Characterisation of antibodies. Triton X-100 extracts of rat normal soleus
muscle were subjected to immunoprecipitation with normal (Ø),
polyclonal rabbit antisera A-17 against the N terminus (
N) or the serum
(
C) of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) against the C-terminal portion
(
C) of FAK protein. Equal amounts of the precipitates, together with a
sample of cell extract (E), were resolved by SDSPAGE on 7.5 % gels and
immunoblotted with either anti-FAK antiserum
C-FAK (A) or
anti-phosphotyrosine antibody (pTyr) (B). The sizes of molecular mass markers
are indicated.
