“…Appropriate volumes of concentrated CM were resolved by sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and blotted on nitrocellulose to quali-quantitatively characterize IGF-BPs, using the procedures previously described (Favoni et al, 1994). Binding proteins were visualized by autoradiography and their molecular weight estimated by comparison to defined low-range (18 000-106 000 Mr) prestained molecular weight markers (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Richmond, CA, USA).…”
