Evaluating CR1 and CR2 protein expression in the spleens of CR2CR1 mice. a-c Western blot using anti-CD35/CR1 indicating presence of an approximately 250 kDa band in B6.CR2CR1long/long mice but an approximately 250 kDa band in B6.CR2CR1short/short mice. No bands of these sizes were detected in either B6.CR2CR1KO/KO or B6 mice. Comparing the CR1long:vinculin ratio with CR1short:vinculin ratio it is clear that CR1short is more highly expressed in the spleen than CR1long. d-f Western blot using anti-CD21/CR2 indicating presence of a 148 kDa band in all samples and a 190 kDa band strongly expressed in B6 mice – likely representing the alternative spliced product previously identified in mice. A very faint band appears in some B6.CR2CR1 samples. An additional previously uncharacterized band, smaller than ~ 148 kDa, is also observed in B6 mice. Loading control = Vinculin (VIN)
