Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Paraffin-embedded infected ileal sections were deparaffinized in xylene and dehydrated through graded concentrations of isopropyl alcohol. After blocking the endogenous peroxidase activity with 3% H2O2, the sections were heated in 10 mM sodium citrate buffer at pH 6.0 in a microwave oven for 20 min. The slides were allowed to cool at room temperature and non-specific binding was blocked with 3% BSA for 1 hr at room temperature. The sections were incubated with primary antibodies NF-κB (dilution 1:250; Chemicon) and β-catenin (dilution 1:200; Santa Cruz, USA) overnight at 4°C in a humidified chamber. Bound antibody was detected by a horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody. The peroxidase reaction was developed in PBS with hydrogen peroxide as substrate and diaminobenzidine (DAB) as a chromogen. Sections were counterstained with Mayer’s hematoxylin, rehydrated and mounted with DPX and then visualized under Axioskope 2d microscope, Carl Zeiss, Germany.

Protein samples were prepared from the lung tissues using 1× cell lysis buffer (Cell Signalling Technology, USA). Equivalent amounts of proteins (10–20 µg) were used to assess protein expressions as described previously [11 (link),12 (link)]. Briefly, protein was denatured by boiling, separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels (SDS-PAGE, 12%) and transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes (Millipore, USA). The membranes were blocked with 8% non-fat milk/PBS-T (PBS with 0.5% Tween-20) for 2 h and respectively incubated with the following rabbit-derived primary antibodies: NF-κB, Bax, Bcl-xL, cleaved-Caspase-3 and β-actin (all 1:1000 dilution; Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA). After washing, the membranes were probed with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody (1:5000 dilution; Cell Signalling Technology, USA). Proteins of interest were visualised using the enhanced chemiluminescence kit (EMD Millipore, USA), and the band intensities were quantified by densitometry using ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA).

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.
