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.

Neuregulin-1 attenuated doxorubicin-induced decrease in cardiac troponins.

Neuregulin-1 (NRG1) is a potential therapeutic agent for the treatment of doxorubicin (Dox)-induced heart failure. NRG1, however, activates the erbB2 receptor, which is frequently overexpressed in breast cancers. It is, therefore, important to understand how NRG1, via erbB2, protects the heart against Dox cardiotoxicity. Here, we studied NRG1-erbB2 signaling in Dox-treated mice hearts and in isolated neonatal rat ventricular myocytes ... [more]
