CD59 Underlines the Antiatherosclerotic Effects of C-Phycocyanin on Mice
Figure 2
Determination of CD59 protein expression in different groups. (a) Western blot analysis. Two protein bands representing -actin (43 kDa) and CD59 (20 kDa) were observed. Lane 1: control group, Lane 2: CD59 transfection group, Lane 3: C-PC treatment group, and Lane 4: C-PC+CD59 treatment group. (b) Grayscale ratios of CD59/-actin. The grayscale ratios were proportional to the CD59 protein levels. Compared with control group, the grayscale ratios in C-PC treatment group and CD59 transfection group were enhanced. The differences were statistically significant (*). CD59 protein level was further increased in CPC+CD59 synergy group (**). No overt differences were observed between C-PC treatment group and CD59 transfection group.
