“…Each fraction, including pass-through (PT), washing, and eluate, obtained by Ni-column chromatography of the conditioned medium of CHO/CTSA-6His containing the proCTSA-6His was applied to SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions and then electroblotted onto polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (Immobilon; Nippon Millipore, Tokyo, Japan). 43 The blotted membranes were blocked with 50% Blocking One (Nacalai tesque, Kyoto, Japan) in Tris-buffered saline (TBS), followed by incubation with anti-CTSA or anti-His antibody and HRP-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG or HRP-conjugated anti-mouse IgG. The antibody-reacting bands were visualized with a chemiluminescence detection system (Western Lightning Chemiluminescence Reagent PLUS; PerkinElmer Life Sciences, Inc., Boston, MA) according to the manufacturer's protocol.…”
