Bca protein concentration kit

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States

The BCA protein concentration kit is a colorimetric assay used to quantify the total protein concentration in a sample. It uses bicinchoninic acid (BCA) to detect the presence of protein. The kit provides a simple, reliable, and reproducible method for measuring protein levels in a variety of sample types.

Total protein was extracted from U251 cells and quantified using the BCA protein concentration kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). Subsequently, equal amounts of proteins were separated by electrophoresis on SDS-PAGE gels and transferred onto nitrocellulose membranes. Immunoblotting was performed using the following antibodies: Rabbit anti-KIF20A (ab70791, 1:2,000 dilution) and anti-GAPDH (ab8245, 1:500 dilution) at 4 °C overnight. Next, the membranes were washed repeatedly and then incubated with secondary antibody. The Western blot bands were visualized and analyzed by ImageJ following standard methods.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mitochondrial ROS production was measured by MitoSOX Red fluorescence. Inducible TOLLIP overexpressing cells and control cells were setup in 6 well plate at a 2 × 105/well, treated by doxycycline at 2 μg/ml for 48 hours. For the knocking down experiment, BEAS-2B cells were seeded in 6 well plate at a 4 × 105/well, transfected with TOLLIP siRNA and scramble siRNA for 48 hours. Then all cells were treated with either PBS (control) or bleomycin at 50 μM (Sigma B8416) for 8 hours. After treatment, cells were collected and resuspended in 20 μl culture media. Cell suspension were transferred into each well (10 μl/well) of a 96-well plate and incubated with MitoSOX (10 nM, Invitrogen,) for 10 minutes. The cells were washed with PBS and fluorescent intensity (510/580 nm) was measured kinetically. The fluorescent intensity of each well was normalized by total protein measured using BCA protein concentration kit (Thermo Scientific).

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.
