Enhanced bca protein assay kit

Manufactured by Beyotime
Sourced in China, United States, Japan, Germany

The Enhanced BCA Protein Assay Kit is a colorimetric assay used for the quantification of protein concentration. The kit utilizes bicinchoninic acid (BCA) to detect and quantify total protein in a sample. The color change produced in the reaction between protein and BCA is measured spectrophotometrically, allowing for the determination of protein concentration.

Then the proteins were blotted by electrodiffusion for 2 h at 100 V on nitrocellulose membranes. The membranes were blocked with 5% skim milk in T-TBS for 1 h at room temperature. The membranes were then incubated overnight at 4°C with primary antibody in T-TBS containing 5% skimmed milk powder. Then the membranes were rinsed in T-TBS for 5 min and repeated for four times. After that, the membranes were incubated for 1 h with goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) (Thermo Pierce, No. 31160) or goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) (Thermo Pierce, No. 31210) secondary antibodies, and rinsed in T-TBS for 5 min and repeated five times.

EVs derived from Leuk-1 cells (Leuk-1-EVs) were purified by sequential ultracentrifugation (17 (link)) (Figure 1A). Briefly, Leuk-1 cells were cultured in KSFM medium for 48 h and then centrifuged for 10 minutes at 500 × g to remove cell contamination, 20 minutes at 3,000 × g to remove apoptotic bodies and large cell debris, and 20 minutes at 12,000 × g to remove large microvesicles. After that, EVs were collected by ultracentrifugation in 31 mL ultracentrifugation tubes (#355618, Beckman Coulter, USA) at 110,000 × g for 70 min, washed in PBS, and pelleted again by ultracentrifugation at 110,000 × g in 70 Ti fixed-angle rotors in a Beckman Coulter Optima XPN/XE ultracentrifuge. Finally, the EVs were resuspended in 300 μl of PBS and stored at −80°C.
The ultrastructure and size of EVs were analyzed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) (Hitachi, HT7800/HT7700, Japan) and subjected to nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) with a Zeta View® system (Particle Metrix, Germany). The protein concentration was measured by BCA assay (Enhanced BCA Protein Assay Kit, Beyotime Institute Biotechnology, China). Western blotting was performed to detect the protein markers of EVs, including CD63 (ab, 59479, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), TSG101 (ab 83, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), and HSP70 (10995-1-AP, Proteintech, Wuhan, China).

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.
