The A2780 and SKOV3 cells were lysed with 120 µl of RIPA buffer (Beyotime). Cell lysates were sonicated for 30 sec under ice and lysed at 4°C for 45 min. The cells were lysed by centrifugation at 3,000 × g for 15 min, and the supernatant was used to determine the protein concentration using Bio-Rad kit (Pierce Biotechnology Inc.) and the samples were boiled for 5 min.

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.
