Serum proteins from patients and a healthy individual were separated on 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) under non-reducing conditions and blotted onto nitrocellulose membrane. After blotting, the membrane was blocked with 4% non-fat dried milk, 1% BSA in PBS solution. Then, the membrane was incubated with a polyclonal goat anti-FHR-5 (Cat. number: AF3845, R&D Systems, Minneapolis, Minnesota, US) or monoclonal mouse anti-FHR-5 antibody (clone #390513, Cat. number: MAB3845, R&D Systems, Minneapolis, Minnesota, US) followed by
horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated secondary antibodies (rabbit anti-goat and goat anti-mouse, respectively; Southern Biotech, Birmingham, AL, USA). Bound antibodies were detected with
Clarity Western ECL substrate (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA). For estimating the molecular weight of the proteins, a protein molecular weight marker containing a mixture of 10 multicolor recombinant proteins was used (
Precision Plus Protein™ Kaleidoscope™ Prestained Protein Standard, Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA).
