Figure 4. HPLC-GPC fractionation of
the soluble proteins in concentric layers (numbered from the
outside in) isolated from (
A) a 130-day-old PY lens and (
B),
a 4-year-old eastern gray kangaroo lens.
C: SDS–PAGE
patterns of the three major peaks from the 4-year-old lens
layers.
D: Proportions of the soluble α- (
•••),
β- (
•••),
γ- (
•••),
and μ- (
•••) crystallins from the 4-year-old lens
layers (calculated from
Figure 4B) as a
function of the accumulated dry weight from the center.
