Figure 1
Proteolytic generation of FabA fragments with different glycosylation patterns. (a) Schematic representation of the human IgA1 hinge region. The O-glycosylation sites (CHO) and IgA-protease cleavage sites are indicated. Note the complete avoidance of final glycosylation when using the C. ramosum protease. (b) SDS–PAGE showing the purified FabA fragments after C. ramosum (FabAr) or N. gonorrhoeae (FabAg) proteolytic cleavage. LC, light chain; Fd, heavy-chain portion of the Fab fragment. |
