Fig. 1. Mvl expression and localisation in S2 cells. (A) Western blotting using
anti-FLAG antibody detected a 52 kDa band corresponding to Mvl in lysate from
pAcMvl cells. No significant signal was visible in lysate from empty vector
control cells (pAc).
-Tubulin was used as a loading control. (B,C) Mvl
was detected in S2 cells by immunofluorescence using anti-FLAG and Alexa Fluor
488 anti-mouse antibodies (green) and the nucleus was stained with DAPI
(blue). Mvl was detected at the plasma membrane as well as in punctate
structures in pAcMvl cells (B), but no significant staining was visible in pAc
cells (C).
