To demonstrate equivalency of protein loading, a specific GAPDH antibody (Cell Signaling) was used. The membranes were incubated with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-rabbit, rabbit anti-sheep or goat anti-mouse secondary antibody (Cell Signaling) for 1 h at room temperature. For the enhanced chemiluminescence reaction, immunoblots were developed in SuperSignal West Pico Chemilumemescent Substrate (Perbio Science, Pierce, Bonn, Germany), and the respective phosphoproteins or total proteins were visualized using the Fusion Molecular Imaging System (Vilber Lourmat, Eberhardzell, Germany).

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.
