Real-time quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) of HTPAP was described previously [6] (link). Briefly, total RNA was isolated from 420 HCC tissue specimens from Cohort 1; cDNA was synthesized with oligo(dT)15 primers and Superscript II (Invitrogen Life Technologies). The mRNA levels of HTPAP were determined by qRT-PCR with SYBR Green PCR Master Mix in an ABI 7700 (Applied Biosystems). The qRT-PCR and RT-PCR amplification primers are shown in Table S2. Each assay was performed in triplicate, and the products were checked on an agarose gel. The mRNA levels of HTPAP were also examined in 454 HCC tissues that were randomly selected from Cohort 2.
The western blot assay was performed as described in our previous work [13] (link). Thirty micrograms of proteins extracted from 216 randomly selected cases of HCC samples from Cohort 1 were immunoblotted. Rabbit anti-human HTPAP polyclonal antibody (1∶300 dilution, Santa Cruz, Oxford, United Kingdom) was used to detect the expression of HTPAP. GAPDH (1∶5,000; Chemicon, USA) was used as an internal control.

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.
