Pulse-chase analysis of PZ and FX secretion. HEK 293 cells transiently transfected with expression vectors were divided into 5 dishes and were labeled with a 50 μCi [35S]protein labeling mixture for 1 hour. The chase was then initiated by changing the medium containing Vit.K, and the samples were incubated for 1, 2, 4, and 8 hours. PZ (A) or FX (B) in the medium (●) and in the cell lysates (○) were collected by immunoprecipitation using an anti-PZ or anti-FX antibody. Their intensity under fluorography was calculated by setting the signal in the cell lysates at chase-time 0 to 100%. The data shown are the mean (± SD) for 3 independent experiments.
