Do Sf9 cells have chromogranin B already present?

05 May 2018 0 2K Report

I infected Sf9 insect cells with baculovirus containing chromogranin A construct, in different concentrations and did western blot for detection of overexpression of chromogranin A. I found single dark bands in both infected and uninfected cells.
