Detecting Xenopus Ink4d Protein

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Embryos were lysed in ice-cold lysis buffer (120 mM NaCl, 50 mM Tris-HCl [pH 8.0], 0.5% NP-40, 1 mM EDTA, and Complete protease inhibitors [Roche]). Lysates were cleared of lipid and yolk by Freon extraction (http://spot.colorado.edu/~klym/) and protein concentration was determined using a BCA Protein Assay Kit (Pierce). Equal amount of protein was resolved on 15% (w/v) polyacrylamide-SDS gels and transferred onto nitrocellulose membranes. To detect Xl-Ink4d protein, we raised a rabbit polyclonal antibody to the C-terminal peptide of Xl-Ink4d1 (amino acid sequence: SQLAAILDPRLASIFELST) and affinity-purified the antibody using the same peptide. This peptide is unique to the predicted Xenopus Xl-Ink4d protein and its sequence is shared between Xl-Ink4d1, Xl-Ink4d2 and the Ink4d of X-Tropical is but not those of Fugu, Mouse or Human. Thus the antibody does not cross react with mouse p19Ink4d protein (negative data not shown). Membranes were probed with an antibody against α-tubulin (Sigma) as a control for protein loading. Goat anti-rabbit HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies (Amersham) and Super Signal Dura (Pierce) were used to develop the blots.

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.
