Cell blot–identified annexin II (Anxa2) expressed on osteoblasts (OBs) mediates adhesion of KG1a cells. SaOS-2 or MG-63 membrane lysates were run on native lithium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gels before being blotted onto polyvinylidene fluoride membranes.20,21 After blocking the membranes with bovine serum albumin (BSA), the membranes were probed with biotin-labeled KGla cells for 2 hours at 37°C. The membranes were then fixed and the location of the cells identified with streptavidin-conjugated horseradish peroxidase. The figure is presented as an enhanced image for visualization. (The original figure is provided in Figure S1, available on the Blood website; see the Supplemental Figures link at the top of the online article.) Adhesion of the biotin-labeled KG1a cells to proteins in the MG-63 membrane lysates revealed a band at approximately 36 and approximately 94 kDa.
