From: Total and Proteinase K-Resistant α-Synuclein Levels in Erythrocytes, Determined by their Ability to Bind Phospholipids, Associate with Parkinson’s Disease

Figure 5

α-Syn resistance to proteinase K is acquired in the presence of phospholipids.

Samples of SPRBC (5 μg protein) pre-incubated with PI/PS/PE (1:1:1) or cholesterol/sphingomyelin (1:1), at a final amount of 100 μg, or without any lipids prior to incubation with proteinase K. Proteinase-K resistant α-Syn levels determined by phospholipid-ELISA and presented as percent of total α-Syn, detected without Proteinase K. Mean ± SD of n = 3.
