An anti-IgG immunoreactive band of 50 kDa (a) was found using western blotting on dorsolateral prefrontal cortex homogenate of all humans studied (n=74). The intensity of the IgG varied from one human brain to another while the level of β-actin (at 42 kDa) was of similar abundance. IgG abundance did not differ by diagnosis of inflammatory subgroup (b) Horizontal bars represent group means. Expression of FcGRT mRNA was comparable between high and low inflammation schizophrenia cases and controls (c) Representative western blot probed for FcGRT protein in the human DLPFC (d) Protein levels of FcGRT in the DLPFC did not differ between high inflammation schizophrenia cases, low inflammation schizophrenia cases or controls (e) Horizontal bars represent group means.
