Western blot analyses were performed on the same protein samples as those used for the AChE assay. Twenty micrograms of each protein were separated by 12% sodium-dodecyl-sulfate-polyacrylamide gels and electrotransferred onto polyvinylidene fluoride membranes using a Bio-Rad miniature transfer apparatus for 100 min at 0.3 A. The membranes were then blocked using a blocking buffer (5% non-fat dry milk in PBS containing 0.05% Tween 20) for 1 h at room temperature (25 °C). The membranes were then incubated with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C with rabbit monoclonal anti-brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF, 1:1000; Abcam, Cambridge, UK) and mouse monoclonal anti-ß-actin (1:10000; Sigma-Aldrich). The corresponding secondary antibodies were then applied for 90 min at room temperature with goat anti-rabbit IgG(H+L)-HRP (1:2000 at BDNF; GenDEPOT, Katy, TX, USA) and goat anti-mouse IgG(H+L)-HRP (1:10000; GenDEPOT). The proteins were visualized using an enhanced chemiluminescence solution (WEST-Queen western blot detection kit, iNtRON Biotechnology), and blots were analyzed using a LAS 4000 mini (GE Healthcare Life Sciences). The intensity of each band was measured using optical densitometry of the analysis system (Multi Gauge version 3.0; Fujifilm, Tokyo, Japan).

Generation of Rabbit Anti-COX-1 Antibody

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Generation of a new rabbit polyclonal anti-COX-1 antibody was conducted at the Vanderbilt Antibody and Protein Resource. The protein sequence of human COX-1 and COX-2 were compared to identify unique COX-1 sequences [22 ]. Anti–human COX-1 antibodies were generated by immunization of two New Zealand white rabbits with three KLH-conjugated human COX-1 specific peptides (peptide sequences: CQDDGPAVERPS, ADPGAPTPVC, and LMHYPRGIPPQSQMAC) which have no overlap with the corresponding COX-2 protein sequence (Additional file 1). Bleeds from sequential boosts were collected from both rabbits and tested by Western blot and ELISA. Antisera from both animals were mixed for affinity purification. Polyclonal antibodies were purified using affinity against immunizing peptides and then the elution was sequentially cleared by a mouse COX-2 immobilized affinity column. Final antibodies were further validated by Western blot, and demonstrated to have no cross-reactivity with COX-2 (Additional file 1). Antibodies used for Western blot included the newly generated Vanderbilt rabbit polyclonal anti-COX-1 (1:2000 overnight), rabbit polyclonal anti-COX-2 (1:1000 overnight; Cayman Chemicals, Ann Arbor, MI), and mouse monoclonal anti-actin (1:10000 for 15 mins; Sigma Chemical Co, St Louis, MO); positive controls included recombinant ovine COX-1 and human COX-2 (both from Cayman Chemicals).

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.
