Affinity Capture-Western

An interaction is inferred when a bait protein is affinity captured from cell extracts by either polyclonal antibody or epitope tag and the associated interaction partner identified by Western blot with a specific polyclonal antibody or second epitope tag. This category is also used if an interacting protein is visualized directly by dye stain or radioactivity. Note that this differs from any co-purification experiment involving affinity capture in that the co-purification experiment involves at least one extra purification step to get rid of potential contaminating proteins.

Human CD1d associates with prolyl-4-hydroxylase during its biosynthesis.

Kim HS, Colgan SP, Pitman R, Hershberg RM, Blumberg RS

Recent studies have shown that the CD1 family of proteins present various glycolipid antigens to subsets of T cells. CD1d is expressed on human intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) and exists in two biochemical forms: 37-kDa, beta2-microglobulin (beta2m) independent, nonglycosylated, and 47-kDa, beta2m dependent, glycosylated forms. The biosynthetic pathways and the mechanisms of generation of these two biochemically distinct forms of ... [more]
