Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To demonstrate expression of αIFNα-ib in D1-αIFNα-ib-eGFP cells, 106 cells were incubated in 100 μl Cytobuster protein extraction reagent (Merck) for 5 minutes, centrifuged and heat denatured. 20 μl were analysed by 12% SDS-PAGE and Western blotting. Protein blotting was performed via semi-dry blot onto a PVDF membrane using 48 mM Tris, 39 mM glycine for 30 min at 15 V. After protein transfer, the membrane was washed for 10 min in TBST and blocked for 1 h at room temperature with 3% skimmed milk. Blots were treated for 1 h with mouse anti-myc antibody (9E10, Santa Cruz, 1:2500), washed 3x with TBST, followed by 1 h with goat anti-mouse IgG-Fc alkaline phosphatase labelled antibody (Promega, 1:7500). After washing 3x with TBST and once with AP buffer (100 mM Tris-HCl, pH 9.5, 100 mM NaCl, 5 mM MgCl2), blots were developed with BCIP/NPT-substrate (66 μl NBT and 33 μl BCIP in 10 ml AP-buffer, Promega).

Western Blotting of Transfected Cell Lysates

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
One-fifth portion of the transfected cells was lysed using CytoBuster Protein Extraction Reagent (EMD Millipore). The clarified lysates were diluted 50-fold into CytoBuster and run on two 8% SDS-PAGE gels, with WT sample as a standard on each gel. To further standardize the blots, the gels were cut at the 70-kDa marker, so that the upper half contained the Hsp90 control band and the bottom half hTET2-CS. The Hsp90 halves of both gels were transferred together onto a single PVDF membrane, and the two TET halves were transferred onto another membrane, using an iBlot Gel Transfer Device (Thermo). Membranes were blocked for 2 h at room temperature with 5% (w/v) milk in Tris-buffered saline with 0.1% (v/v) Tween-20 (TBST), washed 3× with TBST, blotted with primary 1:10,000 anti-FLAG M2 (Sigma, cat. no. F1804) or 1:1,000 anti-Hsp90α/β (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, cat. no. sc-13119) antibodies at 4 °C overnight, washed, blotted with secondary 1:5,000 goat anti-mouse-HRP (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, cat. no. sc-2005) for 2 h, washed, and imaged with Immobilon Western Chemiluminescent HRP Substrate (Millipore) on a Fujifilm LAS-1000 imager with 30-s exposures.

Epithelial cell lysates were prepared using Cytobuster Protein Extraction Reagent (71009, EMD Millipore, Watford, UK) with protease inhibitors (cOmplete, EDTA-free Protease Inhibitor Cocktail Tablets, Roche, Burgess Hill, UK). Stromal cell lysates were prepared in a 1% TX-100 lysis buffer containing protease inhibitors. SDS-PAGE and western blotting were as described previously (Rumsby et al, 2011 (link)). Primary antibodies were an anti-PLD1 rabbit polyclonal (sc25512, Santa Cruz, Insight Biotechnology, Wembley, UK, 1 : 750), and a rabbit anti-GAPDH polyclonal (Abcam, Cambridge, UK, ab9485, 1 : 20 000). The secondary antibody was HRP-linked anti-rabbit IgG (7074S, Cell Signalling, New England Biolabs Ltd, UK, 1 : 6000). A kaleidoscope protein ladder (Bio-Rad, Watford, UK, Cat No 1610375) was used throughout.

Total proteins prior and subsequent to famitinib treatment were extracted from BGC-823 and MGC-803 cell pellets using CytoBuster Protein Extraction Reagent (Merck Millipore, Darmstadt, Germany). Proteins were quantified with a Pierce BCA Protein Assay kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.), and ~20 µg of protein was separated on 15% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and proteins were then transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane (GE Healthcare Life Sciences, Chalfont, UK), which was subsequently incubated with anti-cyclin B1 (dilution, 1:1,000; catalog no., AJ1208a; Abgent Inc., San Diego, CA, USA), rabbit polyclonal anti-B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL2; dilution, 1:1,000; catalog no., 2872; Cell Signaling Technology, Inc., Danvers, MA, USA) and mouse monoclonal anti-β-actin (dilution, 1:3,000; catalog no., A5441; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) antibodies at 4°C overnight.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
