Figure 8From: Genomics and proteomics of immune modulatory effects of a butanol fraction of echinacea purpurea in human dendritic cellsConfirmation of the 2-D gel proteomic results on down-regulation of cofilin protein expression with Western blot analysis. (A) Differential expression of cofilin in human iDCs treated with [BF/S+L/Ep] (75 μg/ml), cichoric acid (50 μg/ml) or vehicle control, at 12 and 24 h treatment, as revealed by 2-D gel electrophoresis. (B) Western blot analysis of expression of cofilin in human iDCs. Other experimental details are the same as described in Figure 7. Similar trends were observed in three independent experiments.Back to article page
