From: Alterations in vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) phosphorylation: associations with asthmatic phenotype, airway inflammation and β2-agonist use

Figure 1

Western blot of bronchial epithelial cells demonstrating 50 and 46 KD isoforms of VASP. Representative western blot of bronchial epithelial cells from an asthmatic subject developed with anti-VASP antibody to show the banding pattern for the 46 KD and phosphorylated 50 KD isoforms of VASP. Bronchial epithelial cells received either no treatment for 2 or 24 hr or treatment with 10-7 albuterol for 2 or 24 hr. The treatment with albuterol increased the band density for the 50 KD VASP isoform relative to the 46 KD isoform, greater at 2 hr than after 24 hr chronic albuterol treatment.
