From: Fetal intestinal fibroblasts respond to insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-II better than adult intestinal fibroblasts

Figure 2

Ligand blot comparison of IGFBP expression. Three IGFBP bands were seen consistently with relative molecular weights that have been characterized for ovine IGFBPs-3 (42–50 kDa doublet), -2 (33 kDa) and -4 (24 kDa) [7,11,12]. The fibroblasts produced primarily IGFBP-2 in both maternal and fetal cell lines. The IGFBP levels did not significantly change one week post-confluence in fetal cells compared to maternal cells; which had a general increase in IGFBP expression.
