“…The following antibodies (Abs) were used: polyclonal Ab (pAb) against human GM130 and giantin (Marra et al, 2001); pAb against ␥-subunit of plant (Arabidopsis thaliana) COP-I (Pimpl et al, 2000); pAbs against different subunits of mammalian, yeast and plant COP-I from: F. Wieland, Heidelberg University, Germany (Faulstich et al, 1996); D. Robinson, Heidelberg University, Germany (Pimpl et al, 2000); M. Krieger, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA (Guo et al, 1994); R. Duden, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK (Eugster et al, 2004); S. Coughlan, Agilent Technologies, Wilmington, DE (Pimpl et al, 2000). Abs against P. grylli structural proteins of spore wall and polar tube (p40 and PTP A, see below) were generated and purified as described previously (Dolgikh et al, 2005).…”
