Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human retina samples were collected in the Tongji Hospital. The present study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the Tongji Hospital, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, and individual permission was obtained using standard informed consent procedures. The investigation conformed to the principles outlined in the Declaration of Helsinki regarding the use of human tissues. Preparing for immunohistochemistry, samples were fixed with 4% PFA, embedded in paraffin, and sectioned at 4 μm. After treatment with 3% H2O2 to eliminate endogenic peroxidase, the sections were incubated with an anti-TBK1 antibody (Abcam, ab40676). Thereafter, the sections were stained with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies for 1 h. Images were captured using an Olympus BX53 microscope.

Western blotting was performed as previously described [42 (link)]. Briefly, cells were lysed in cold radio immunoprecipitation assay (RIPA) lysis buffer for 30 min and centrifuged to remove precipitates. Loading buffer was added, then samples were boiled for 10 min. Proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE and transferred to PVDF membranes, which were washed with Tris-buffered saline plus Tween-20 (TBST) and blocked with 5% non-fat milk. Next, the membranes were incubated with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C, washed with TBST, then incubated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-labeled secondary antibodies. Finally, an enhanced chemiluminescence system was used to detect proteins according to the manufacturer’s protocol. The antibodies used were rabbit anti-cGAS (D3080, CST, anti-MB21D1, Boston, MA, USA), rabbit anti-STING (19851-1-AP, Proteintech, Chicago, IL, USA), rabbit anti-TBK1 (ab40676, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), and p-TBK1 (ab109272, Abcam).

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.
