Fig. 2: Western blot on SEE-stimulated T blasts.

A Western blot on SEE-stimulated T blasts generated from healthy controls, included subjects and ALPS-FAS patients with mutations in FAS extracellular (ECD) or intracellular (ICD) domain. Raji cell lines were used as negative controls due to their lack of Caspase-10 expression, while Ku70 (housekeeping protein) was used as loading control. The most expressed Caspase-10 isoforms (uncleaved Caspase-10A and D) are shown. B Quantitative determination of Caspase-10 protein levels normalized with respect to Ku70 levels. Western blot is representative of one experiment from n = 1 sample of SEE T blasts for each individual. HMZ homozygous, HTZ heterozygous, Ctrl control, kDa kiloDalton.
