For analysis of putative downselected miR- targets, mass spectrometry was performed on genital tract tissue from day 6 naïve, C. mur infected WT, and CD4−/− mice. Total cell protein extraction was accomplished using RIPA Lysis Buffer Kit (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Protein concentration was determined using an Invitrogen EZQ Protein Quantitation Kit (Invitrogen, Grand Island, NY). Quantitative tandem mass spectrometry-based “microwave & magnetic (M2)” proteomics was performed on individual specimens and pooled reference materials from two different groups of three specimens as previously described 38 (link). Tryptic peptides, including reference material were terminally tagged with TMT-6plex isobaric labeling reagents (ThermoScientific, San Jose, CA). Each specimen was derivatized with one TMT reagent i.e 127–130 while pooled reference materials were encoded with TMT reagents 126 or 131 (C. mur infected CD4−/− and infected WT, respectively). To normalize across all specimens, TMT-encoded cell lysate were mixed with pooled reference material, and subjected to triplicate analysis with capillary liquid chromatography-Fourier-transform-tandem mass spectrometry (LC/FT-MS/MS).

Cells were lysed on ice using RIPA Lysis buffer kit with protease inhibitor cocktail (Santa Cruz Biotechnology Inc., Heidelberg, Germany). Protein concentration was measured using a BCA protein assay kit (Pierce, Thermo Scientific, Rockford, U.S.A). Thirty μg of reduced proteins in Laemmli sample buffer (Biorad, Segrate, Milan, Italy) were resolved using Gel precast Miniprotean 4-20% (Biorad) and transferred to nitrocellulose by Semi-Dry Trans-Blot Turbo System (Biorad).

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.
