The numbers in the column “antibodies” mean the site of phosphorylation based on the mouse Nephrin sequence (accession number AAK38483). “1208 and 1232” means separate antibodies and “1191/1208” antibody recognizes both phosphorylaion sites. pTyr means commercial antiphosphotyrosine antibodies. PAN: puromycin aminonucleoside; LPS: lipoporysaccharide; PS: protamine sulfate; PHN: passive Heymann nephritis. MCN: minimal change nephrosis; MN: membranous nephropathy. Mice overexpressing c-mip; mice injected with 27A antibody against podocyte-specific 9-O-acetylated GD3 ganglioside.
