Screening of serum samples from fB -/- and fB +/+ mice for factor B protein, as shown for an exemplary Western blot. Samples were run out on SDS-PAGE, transferred to nitrocellulose membranes, and analyzed with a specific monoclonal anti-mouse factor B antibody and detection by chemiluminescence (ECL® system, Amersham). A specific 98 kDa band, corresponding to murine fB, is detectable in the fB+/+, but not in the fB-/- mice. Each lane is representative of an individual mouse. The bottom panel shows equal protein loading in the different bands by ponceau red staining.
