Western blot was carried out with our earlier protocol with slight modifications18 (link). The recombinant E. coli expressing Mce1C and Mce1D proteins were induced with 0.2 mmol/l IPTG. After sonication and centrifugation, the precipitation was transferred onto polyvinylidene fluoride membranes. Mice and rabbits were immunized subcutaneously with N. farcinica, and the antisera were used as primary antibodies and anti-rabbit IgG (Beyotime Biotechnology, China), or anti-mouse IgG antibodies (SouthernBiotech, USA) were used as secondary antibodies to detect recombinant Mce1C and Mce1D proteins.
