(A) Western blotting with the affinity-purified antibody against a COOH-terminal peptide of βIV spectrin (βIV-CT) on 50 μg protein from rat brain PNS (brain, lanes 1 and 3) and homogenates of human pancreatic islets (islets, lanes 2 and 4). In the case of islets, the βIV-CT antibody was incubated with an excess of the immunogenic peptide before its incubation with the nitrocellulose strips. (B) Western blotting with the affinity-purified antibody against a peptide in the specific domain of βIV spectrin (βIV-SD) on 50 μg protein from rat brain PNS (brain, lanes 1, 3, and 4) and homogenates of human pancreatic islets (islets, lanes 2 and 5). (brain + alk. phos., lane 3) Rat brain PNS was treated with calf intestine alkaline phosphatase for 1 h at 37°C. (lanes 4 and 5) Western blotting with the βIV-SD antibody after preincubation with its antigenic peptide.
