Antithrombin, rapamycin, A6730, Evans blue, and triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO). Anti-beclin-1 (1:1000), anti-GAPDH (1:5000), anti-protein kinase B (Akt; 1:1000), anti-phosphorylated (p)-Akt (Ser473,1:1000), anti-autophagy protein microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain-3B (LC3B; 1:1000), anti-B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2; 1:1000), anti-Bcl-2 associated x (Bax; 1:1000), and anti-p62 (1:1000) antibodies were obtained from either Cell Signaling Technology (Danvers, MA) or Abcam (Cambridge, UK). Phenylmethane sulphonyl fluoride (PMSF), the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay kit, and the bicinchoninic acid protein quantification kit were obtained from Beyotime (Shanghai, China).

Antithrombin-Enteropeptidase Covalent Complexes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Formation of covalent complexes between antithrombin and enteropeptidase (Sigma, Madrid, Spain) was evaluated by adding an excess of enteropeptidase (150 μM) to 5 μM of antithrombin and incubating the complex at different times (0, 15, 30, 45 and 60 min) at 37 °C. Complexes were evaluated by 8% SDS-PAGE under reducing and non-reducing conditions, as described elsewhere43 (link).
To evaluate which functional domains of antithrombin are required for the inhibition of enteropeptidase, two different antithrombin mutants were used, and enteropeptidase activity was measured (antithrombin London and antithrombin Toyama). Mutagenesis of plasmid containing cDNA coding for antithrombin, transfection of HEK-EBNA cells and purification of variants were carried out as previously described13 (link)15 (link).

Turbidity Assay and Fibrin Gel Lysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The turbidity assay was performed according to a minor modification of the method of Kim et al. 31 at 37°C in a 96-well plate (Corning) on a SpectraMax Paradigm plate reader (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale). Measurements were performed in quadruplicate. Turbidity was monitored once a minute at a 350-nm wavelength and calculated as the mean value (n = 4) in a volume of 100 μL HBS (HEPES [N-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine-N'-2-ethanesulfonic acid]-buffered saline solution) at pH 7.4.
For fibrin gel formation, 2.0 mg/mL fibrinogen (Sigma-Aldrich), 5 mM CaCl 2 (Wako Pure Chemical), 0.01% Tween 80 (Sigma-Aldrich), and 0.5 NIH unit/mL thrombin (Sigma-Aldrich) were added to 10 μg/mL 1101 mAb or 3 U/mL anti-thrombin (SLS Behring K) as AT III (antithrombin III).
For the lysis of the fibrin gel, 2.0 mg/mL fibrinogen (Sigma-Aldrich), 5 mM CaCl 2 (Wako), 0.01% Tween 80 (Sigma-Aldrich), 0.5 NIH unit/mL thrombin (Sigma-Aldrich), 0.2 μM PLG (Enzyme Research Laboratories), and 0.3 nM tPA (Alteplase, Kyowa Hakko Kirin) were added to 10 μg/mL1101 mAb or a mixture of 0.10 μM α2-PI (Hematologic Technologies) and 2.0 ng/mL PAI-1 (ProSpec), and used as a negative control.

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.
