To compare the glycosylation states of eIL-10 and hIL-10, purified protein (500 ng) was diluted in 0.05 M sodium phosphate (pH7) containing 0.1% sodium dodecyl sulfate and 20 mM 2-mercaptoethanol and boiled for 5 min. The mixture was cooled on ice and Tween 20 was added to 0.75%. Either five units of N-glycosidase F (Roche, Mannheim, Germany) or no enzyme was added, then the mixtures incubated at 37°C for 3 h. The deglycosylated proteins were then resolved by SDS-PAGE and visualized by western blotting using an anti-FLAG Peroxidase antibody (M2, mouse monoclonal, Sigma-Aldrich).
