- Flow cytometry analysis of Synuclein-alpha was done on SH-SY5Y cells. Cells were fixed with 70% ethanol for 10 minutes, permeabilized with 0.25% Triton™ X-100 for 20 minutes, and blocked with 5% BSA for 30 minutes at room temperature. Cells were labeled with Synuclein-alpha Mouse Monoclonal Antibody (AHB0261, red histogram) or with mouse isotype control (pink histogram) at 3-5 ug/million cells in 2.5% BSA. After incubation at room temperature for 2 hours, the cells were labeled with Alexa Fluor® 488 Rabbit Anti-Mouse Secondary Antibody (A11059) at a dilution of 1:400 for 30 minutes at room temperature. The representative 10,000 cells were acquired and analyzed for each sample using an Attune® Acoustic Focusing Cytometer. The purple histogram represents unstained control cells and the green histogram represents no-primary-antibody control.

- Figure 5 BK50118-C reduces alpha-synuclein and protects against dopamine loss in USP13 +/+ , but not USP +/- or USP13 -/- brain. WB of STEN (soluble) midbrain extracts of ( A ) USP13 +/+ , USP +/- and USP13 -/- mice, which were injected with lentiviral alpha-synuclein into SN and treated with BK50118-C or DMSO showing alpha-synuclein (17 kD) level relative to actin (42 kD) on 4-12% Criterion(tm) XT Bis-Tris Protein Gel, and ( B ) alpha-synuclein densitometry. ELISA measuring levels of ( C ) human alpha-synuclein ( D ) dopamine, and ( E ) HVA in same brain extracts. The asterisk indicates statistically significant difference. One-way ANOVA ** p < 0.01. Two tailed Student's t test, and non parametric tests # p < 0.05. n = 3-6 per group. Mean +- SD. The black dot * represents each individual data.
