Figure 3. 10% SDS−PAGE gel stained with R-250 Coomassie blue.
Loaded protein concentrations are provided in parentheses. Lane 1, prestained protein standard; lane 2, partially purified Cry2Aa2 protein from E. coli (5 mug); lane 3, single gene-derived Cry2Aa2 pellet extract solubilized in 50 mM NaOH (22.4 mug); lane 4, single gene-derived Cry2Aa2 supernatant (66.5 mug); lane 5, operon-derived Cry2Aa2 pellet extract solubilized in 50 mM NaOH (22.9 mug); lane 6, operon-derived Cry2Aa2 supernatant (58.6 mug); lane 7, untransformed tobacco pellet extract solubilized in 50 mM NaOH (29.8 mug); lane 8, untransformed tobacco supernatant (30.4 mug). Colored compounds observed in the supernatant of transgenic plants interfered with the DC Bio-Rad protein assays.
