Following lentivirus (LV) infection, RT4-D6P2T successfully express GFP and ecto-ErbB4-FLAG. Confluent cells infected with LV-sGFP only (Panels (a)–(d)) or with LV-sGFP and LV-ecto-ErbB4-FLAG (Panels (e)–(h)) were stained with anti-GFP (green) and anti-FLAG (red) antibody. Nuclei were stained with Hoechst (blue). Scale bar 100 m. Panel (i)-Western blot analysis of RT4-D6P2T infected with LV-sGFP only, or with LV-sGFP and LV-ecto-ErbB4-FLAG. (j) Recombinant ecto-ErbB4-FLAG peptide was purified from RT4-D6P2T conditioned medium using ANTI-FLAG affinity gel and eluted using FLAG peptide. Eluted fractions were analyzed by Western blot to identify the positive fractions to be frozen and used for the following experiments.
