Figure 4. MK/T-1 cells display gene expression characteristics consistent with fibroblasts
Western blotting was performed with early passage untransfected parental cell lysates and lysates from MK/T-1 cells at passage 50 using antibodies to intermediate filament and cytoskeletal markers. The MK/T-1 cells expressed vimentin, which is consistent with a fibroblast phenotype. MK/T-1 expressed the ubiquitous cytoskeletal protein a-tubulin, which served as a positive control.
