Secondary antibody incubations were performed at room temperature for 60 min using HRP-conjugated antibodies (1:10,000) and then imaged using a ChemiDoc system (Bio-Rad).
Quantification of the TGF-β1 content was performed on cardiac tissue and plasma using an ELISA kit by R&D Systems (DB100B) according to the manufacturer's instructions. The total TGF-β1 amounts were measured by first activating the samples (to convert biologically inactive latent TGF-β1 into active TGF-β1) as instructed by the kit protocol, while measurement of the “bioavailable” TGF-β1 content was performed by skipping the initial activation step.

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.
