Figure 3From: The role of crude saliva and purified salivary mucins in the inhibition of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1Western blotting analysis (representative) of HIV negative and HIV positive salivary mucins MUC5B (a) and MUC7 (b). a. lanes: 1, MUC5B (V0) HIV negative;2,MUC5B (V0) HIV positive. b. lanes: 1, MUC7 (Vi) HIV negative;2, MUC7 (Vi) HIV positive. Mucin proteins were detected using rabbit anti-MUC5B polyclonal and mouse anti-MUC7 monoclonal primary antibodies respectively. Dashed-arrows indicate loading position at the top of the gel picture and further arrows indicate the migration distance of samples.Back to article page
