Human VLDL (δ < 1.006 g/ml) was isolated from plasma by buoyant density ultracentrifugation and quantified by BCA protein assay (Pierce) (30 (link)). To label the particles, 1 to 2 mg of VLDL were combined with 100 μl of 3 mg/ml 1,1′-dioctadecyl-3,3,3′,3′-tetramethylindodicarbocyanine perchlorate (Invitrogen) in DMSO and then re-isolated by ultracentrifugation. After incubation with VLDL for 30 min at 4 ºC, cells were rinsed with PBS and lysed by adding 0.1 M NaOH plus 0.1% SDS for 40 min at room temperature (30 (link)). Fluorescence intensity was measured with appropriate excitation and emission filters in a plate reader (TECAN GENios Pro) and normalized to total cell protein.

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.
