Activation of THP-1 cells with MoAb My43 and huIgA induces tyrosine phosphorylation of cellular proteins. THP-1 cells (5 × 105/sample) were activated at 37°C for 5 minutes by the addition of 5 μg/mL Mo2 (anti-CD14, lane 1), My43 cell culture supernatant 1:2 (anti-CD89, lane 2), 100 μg/mL huIgA (lane 3), 100 μg/mL huIgA + 100 μg/mL F′2RAhuIgA (lane 4), 100 μg/mL F′2RAhuIgA (lane 5), or NC particles (1 mg/sample) incubated in PBS containing different concentrations of huIgA, 3 mg/mL (lane 6), 1 mg/mL (lane 7), 0.33 mg/mL (lane 8), 0.11 mg/mL (lane 9), and 0.037 mg/mL (lane 10), and NC particles incubated in PBS containing 5% BSA only (lanes 11 and 12). Cellular proteins were isolated, separated by SDS-PAGE, and transferred to NC sheets as described in the experimental section. Immunoblotting of tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins was performed with the MoAb 4G10 followed by development with ECL as described (A). The immunoblot was then stripped and reprobed with a rabbit polyclonal anti-Syk antibody (lanes 1 through 11 in [B]) or control rabbit polyclonal IgG (lane 12 in [B]).
