Fig. 2. Identification of proteins interacting with vFLIP in a KSHV-infected B-cell
line. Proteins were immunoprecipitated from the KSHV-infected PEL cell line
BC3 using a rat IgG control or the anti-vFLIP monoclonal antibody 6/14 and
then run on a 12% SDS-polyacrylamide gel. (A) Silver stain of tracks
containing 10% of the immunoprecipitated protein. (B) Colloidal Coomassie
stain of part of a parallel pair of tracks containing 90% of the
immunoprecipitated protein. Bands detected in the vFLIP immunoprecipitate, but
not the control, were excised from the Coomassie stained gel and identified by
mass spectrometry as indicated.
