(A) IB analysis of phosphorylated(P)-STAT1, P-STAT2, STAT1, STAT2 and Bclaf1 in HeLa WT and HeLa Bclaf1-KO cells treated with human IFNα (500U/mL) for the indicated time. Data were quantified and shown as the ratio of P-STAT1 to STAT1 and P-STAT2 to STAT2. (B) IB analysis of P-STAT1, P-STAT2, STAT1, STAT2 and Bclaf1 in HEp-2 cells transfected with si-control or si-Bclaf1 followed by PBS or human IFNα (500U/mL) treatment for the indicated time. Data were quantified and shown as the ratio of P-STAT1 to STAT1 and P-STAT2 to STAT2. (C) IB analysis of P-STAT1, P-STAT2, STAT1, STAT2 and Bclaf1 in cytoplasmic and nuclear extracts of HEp-2 cells transfected with si-control or si-Bclaf1 followed by PBS or human IFNα (500U/mL) treatment for the indicated time. α-Tubulin and Histone H3 were used as the cytoplasmic and nuclear controls, respectively.
