Fluorescent secondaries

Manufactured by LI COR

Fluorescent secondaries are laboratory reagents used in immunoassays and other fluorescence-based techniques. They are designed to bind to primary antibodies, allowing for the detection and visualization of target proteins or other biomolecules. These secondary antibodies are conjugated with fluorescent dyes, enabling the signal to be captured and quantified using appropriate instrumentation.

Myelin-enriched Proteins Analysis in Mouse Brain

In a separate cohort of mice after one month of hypoperfusion (n = 8) or a sham (n = 5) procedure, after decapitation, the brain was rapidly removed, the cerebellum discarded and the remaining brain frozen in liquid nitrogen. Myelin-enriched fractions were prepared by sucrose density centrifugation [29] (link) and the total protein concentration was determined using Pierce BCA Protein Assay Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, UK). Proteins were separated by Bis-Tris 4–12% SDS-PAGE (NuPage® Novex®, Life Technologies) and transferred onto PVDF membrane (Immobilon-FL, Millipore). Immunobloting was performed using the Odyssey Infrared Imaging System (LiCor Biosciences, Lincoln, NE, USA). Membranes were blocked 1 hour at room temperature in Odyssey blocking buffer (diluted 1∶1 with phosphate-buffered saline), washed in phosphate-buffered saline–Tween (phosphate-buffered saline with 0.1% Tween) and incubated over-night at 4°C with MBP (1∶10.000, Millipore). After gentle washing, membranes were then incubated 1 hour at room temperature with GAPDH (1∶14.000, Sigma) which was used as a loading control. Membranes were then incubated for 45 minutes with the appropriate fluorescent secondaries (1∶3000, LiCor Biosciences). The western blots were analysed using the LiCOR Bioscience Odyssey system and software. The four MBP isoforms were analysed together and normalized to GAPDH.

Brain and liver homogenates were generated as detailed above. BMDMs cultured in 96-well format were washed 2x with PBS and then collected in 25uL 1x CST Buffer (Cell Signaling, #9803S) supplemented with PMSF. 1mg/mL tissue/cell lysates were prepared for SDS-PAGE by diluting with 4X NuPage Sample Buffer (Invitrogen #NP007), 10X NuPage Reducing Buffer (Invitrogen #NP009), and RIPA Buffer (Teknova #R379). Samples were boiled for 5 min, and then run on a 4–12% Bis-Tris gel (Invitrogen #NP0322) in MES buffer (Invitrogen #NP0002), 120V for 1.5 hours. Gel was then transferred on the Bio-Rad semi-dry transfer apparatus mixed molecule weight program onto nitrocellulose. Transferred blot was blocked with Intercept protein-free blocking buffer (Licor, #927–80001). Blot was then probed for GCase (Sigma #G4171, 1:1000) and GAPDH (Sigma #G8795, 1:2500) for liver and brain tissues or Cathepsin D (Abcam #ab78552, 1:1000) and beta-Actin (Sigma #A2228, 1:3000) for BMDM cell lysates and detected via fluorescent secondaries (Licor) while incubating in LI-COR Intercept Blocking Buffer. After washing, blot was imaged and quantified on the Odyssey scanner, and analyzed in Prism by one-way ANOVA and Dunnett’s multiple comparison test.

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.
