The identity of the purified protein was confirmed by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting using anti-His mAb. The protein had an apparent molecular mass of 24 kDa as judged by SDS-PAGE analysis, which is predicted for this protein, and was recognized by the His-tag-specific antibody (Fig. 1a) . Two additional minor bands in the SDS-PAGE were specifically recognized by Western blotting using the His-tag-specific mAb. These bands are consistent with a dimer and a 37-kDa degradation product, respectively, of the GST-7bDSS-His protein (Fig. 1b) . The results outlined above show that the anti-7b mAbs recognize exclusively the nonglycosylated form of the viral protein in FCoV-infected cells. ./cache/cord-260869-rym2ik0o.txt ./txt/cord-260869-rym2ik0o.txt
