SDS-PAGE was performed in the protein 4.1 (−) Madrid case on two independent occasions in triplicate. Results were compared with those in normal subjects (n = 13). Each membrane protein band stained with Coomassie blue was determined densitometrically at 570 nm after SDS-PAGE was performed, as previously described.39 The relative ratios are given as percentages, and mean values ± 1 SD are shown.
