A. Human GFAP was undigested or digested with calpain (Capn), resolved on SDS-PAGE, stained with Coomassie blue R-250, and the indicated bands were excised. An asterisk marks the 38 kDa GFAP band. B. The N-terminal sequence of each band is shown in the table. C. Calpain cleavage sites (scissors) near the N- and C-termini of GFAP are shown in a schematic drawing of the GFAP. Subdomains (head, rod, tail) and identified/putative phosphorylation sites (P) are indicated, and the predicted 38 kDa calpain fragment is shown. D. Three control and four post-TBI human serum samples (Day 4–10) were probed against human brain lysate (top panel) and cell lysate from HEK cells overexpressing the 38 kDa GFAP-BDP (lower panel).
