Figure 5From: Antimelanogenic effect of c-phycocyanin through modulation of tyrosinase expression by upregulation of ERK and downregulation of p38 MAPK signaling pathwaysThe entry of Cpc into B16F10 melanoma cells. Cells were treated with Cpc (0.1 mg/mL). (A) Confocal microscopy of Cpc localization at 6 hrs after treatment (1000 ×). (B) After washes with PBS, cells were lysed, and the extract proteins were analyzed by immunoblotting assay for Cpc at the assigned time intervals (β-subunit (black); α-subunit (grey)).Back to article page
