Balanced protein samples (30 μg per lane) were heated for 5 min at 95°C and then loaded on 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. After electrophoresis, the gels were transferred to a polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane (Immobilon-P, Millipore Corporation, Billerica, MA, USA) at 4°C by the wet transfer method (200 mA, 3 h). Following several rinses with phosphate buffer solution-Tween (PBST, containing 0.1% Tween-20), the transferred PVDF membrane was blocked with 5% nonfat milk in PBST for 1 h at room temperature. The membrane was then incubated for 3 h at room temperature with a rabbit polyclonal antibody against CRMP2 (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA) and a mouse monoclonal antibody against αII-spectrin (Merck Millipore, Darmstadt, Germany). A mouse monoclonal antibody against β-actin (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Paso Robles, CA, USA) was employed to verify equal loading of the samples. Horseradish peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-rabbit or anti-mouse IgG (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Paso Robles, CA, USA) was used as the secondary antibody. After incubation with the primary and secondary antibodies, a chemiluminescent detection kit (Immobilon-P, Millipore Corporation, Billerica, MA, USA) was used to visualize the protein bands. The relative band intensities were tested by densitometry using FluorChem FC2 software (ProteinSimple, CA, USA).

Other membranes were equilibrated in PBS; incubated in 5% milk with Tris-buffered saline with 0.01% Tween 20 (TBST) for 1 h for blocking; washed three times in TBST and then incubated with appropriate antibodies in 5% milk/TBST overnight at 4°C and then washed three times in TBST. The membrane was incubated with the appropriate horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature. After further washing in PBS or TBST the immunoblots were developed with enhanced chemiluminescence (PerkinElmer Life Sciences) using either using either autoradiograph film or digitally using the Amersham Imager 600.

The concentration of mossMFHR1 used for activity assays was measured via ELISA, using the same antibodies and protocol performed for mossFH as described above. As standard for the ELISA, a batch of purified mossMFHR1 was used in which its concentration was determined via band densitometry (Quantity One, Bio-Rad, Munich, Germany) after SDS–PAGE (Ready Gel Tris-HCl, Bio-Rad) and Coomassie staining. The sandwich ELISA using this MFHR1 standard protein has a linear response between 1 and 64 ng/ml. Electrophoretic separation of proteins was carried out in 10% SDS–polyacrylamide gels (Ready Gel Tris-HCl; BioRad) at 120 V. Subsequently, gels were stained with PageBlue® Protein Staining Solution (PageBlue™, Thermo Fisher Scientific). For Western blot analysis, SDS-PAGE gel was blotted to polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes (Immobilon-P; Millipore, Bedford, MA, USA) in a Trans-Blot SD Semi-Dry Electrophoretic Cell (Bio-Rad) for 1 h with 1 mA /cm2 membrane.

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.
