Inhibition of CDK2- and CDC2-associated kinase activities by MPA. Immunoprecipitations were performed using lysates from human T lymphocytes before and after IL-2/PHA-L stimulation and anti-CDK2 (lanes 1 to 7) or anti-CDC2 (lanes 8 to 14) antibodies. Competitive peptides were added to the 48-hour samples to control for the specificity of the assay. The immune complexes were incubated in kinase buffer containing [γ-32P]ATP and histone H1 for 30 minutes, separated on a SDS-PAGE and exposed to radiograph film, as outlined in the Materials and Methods section.
