Validation of dynamin-2 positive nanobodies.

(A) Immunofluorescence results performed on HeLa cells with different levels of dynamin- two expressions showing three different clones with different abilities to bind dynamin-2; the very strong positive clone (++) and the positive clone (+) bind more cells overexpressing dynamin-2, the negative clone (-) has a background staining of the cells regardless of the level of dynamin-2. (B) Example of dot blot experiment in which it is possible to observe the difference in dynamin-2 binding of different clones, the plate is divided by dynamin-2 without nucleotide, dynamin-2 coupled with GMPPCP and the control without dynamin-2. (C) Magnifications of dot blot spots that confirm the ability of positive and negative clones to bind dynamin-2.
