HepG2 cells were radiolabeled with [ 35 S]methionine for 10 min and chased in the presence of unlabeled methionine for the times indicated. ApoE and albumin were immunoprecipitated from cell lysates (cellular) and culture supernatants (extracellular) and subjected to SDS-PAGE as described in Materials and Methods. (A) Phosphorimager analysis of representative SDS-PAGE gels. (B) Phosphorimager quantification of four independent experiments (means 6 SD). All apoE bands were quantified.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
