transfected with GFP-Foxc2 were incubated with 10 μl of
monoclonal antibody against GFP (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA) at
4°C overnight with of 20 μl of 50% (v/v) Protein
A/G plus–agarose bead slurry (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA).
Beads were pelleted by centrifugation for 2 min at 1000 g, and then
washed three times with lysis buffer, and twice with PBS. Proteins were eluted and
prepared for analysis by heating in reduced Laemmli sample buffer at 100°C for 5
min. Proteins were resolved by 4–15% gradient SDS/PAGE and transferred on
to PVDF membranes for Western blotting. Membranes were blocked with 5% (w/v)
non-fat dried milk in Tris-buffered saline, then probed either with
antibody–horseradish peroxidase conjugates containing antibody against GFP or CK2
proteins (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA), then horseradish peroxidase
conjugates (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA).
