Figure 9 From: Lack of functional alpha-lactalbumin prevents involution in Cape fur seals and identifies the protein as an apoptotic milk factor in mammary gland involution Cape fur seal mammary cells require extended exposure of bLALBA for induction of apoptosis. (A – D) 1 mg/ml bLALBA was added to CfsMCs for 1 hour, LALBA was then washed out and fresh media was added. (E – H) For comparison, 1 mg/ml LALBA was added to cell culture media and allowed to remain on the cells. Cells were photographed at day 1 (A and E), day 2 (B and F), day 4 (C and G) and day 5 (D and H). Scale bars represent 100 μm.Back to article page
