The crude lysate of U937 cells was prepared by disrupting the cells via sonication (10 cycles) using a picobioruptor (Diagenode) in RIPA buffer (140 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 1% Triton X-100, 0.1% SDS, 0.1% sodium deoxycholate, 10 mM Tris-Cl pH 8.0, supplemented with 2 X Roche protease inhibitor cocktail, 1 mM PMSF, 2X neutrophil elastase inhibitor (Sigma, M0398). Approximately, 70 μg protein was run in 4–12% Bis-Tris gradient gel (Invitrogen, NP0322BOX), followed by semi-dry transfer to polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane (Bio-Rad Transblot). Western blotting was performed using anti-DZIP3 (Sigma, SAB2701600, 1:2,000) and anti-actin (GeneTex, GTX26276, 1:5,000) antibodies. Horse radish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG and IR800-conjugated anti-mouse IgG were used as secondary antibodies and the blot was visualized using a Chemidoc system (Bio-Rad).

Rabbit skeletal G-actin (Cytoskeleton Inc., AKL99) was resuspended according to manufacturer instructions. Resuspended G-actin were centrifuged at 100,000 × g to remove aggregated monomers. G-actin was then polymerized according to the manufacturer instruction. For low-speed sedimentation assays, F-actin was stabilized with phalloidin (Sigma-Aldrich, A22287), and centrifuged at 20,000 × g to precipitate nonspecific aggregates. F-actin (5 μM) was incubated with increasing concentrations of 6xHis-MBP-MISP (0–5 μM) for 15 min at room temperature. Subsequently, all MISP/F-actin sample series were centrifuged at 10,000 × g for 20 min at room temperature. For high-speed sedimentation assays, MBP-MISP (0.5 μM) was incubated with increasing concentrations of non-stabilized F-actin (0–10 μM) for 2 h at 4°C. Subsequently, all MISP/F-actin sample series were centrifuge at 100,000 × g for 30 min at 4°C. In low- and high-sedimentation assays, the supernatant was carefully removed without disrupting the pellet. Both supernatant and pellet fractions were boiled with samples buffer and run into a 4%–12% NuPAGE gradient gel (Invitrogen, NP0322BOX). Gels were stained with Coomassie blue (Bio-Rad, 1610786) and imaged in a gel imaging system (Bio-Rad, Gel Doc™ EZ System).

Quantifying Cell-Specific Protein Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Samples obtained from all protocols were analyzed by Western blots with 4-12% SDS-PAGE (Invitrogen, NP0322BOX). Western blot assays were performed as described previously (Sherwood et al., 2010 (link)). The following primary antibodies were used for immunoblotting: anti-LDH-A (1/1000, Santa Cruz, sc- 27230), anti-LDH-B (1/500, Novus Biologicals, NB100-79987), and anti-LDH (1/1000, Santa Cruz, sc-133123). Antibodies were characterized in detail before being used for research (see the Supplemental Material). The blots were also probed with antibodies against cell-specific marker proteins: anti-GFAP (glial marker, 1/1000, Santa Cruz, sc-9065) and anti-SYP (presynaptic neuronal marker, 1/1000, Abcam, ab14692). For detection of antibodies, appropriate peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies were used in conjunction with enhanced chemiluminescence (Amersham Pharmacia Biosciences) to obtain images saved on film. The signals were quantitatively evaluated with Scion Image software. Equal protein loading was confirmed with anti-β-actin antibody (1/1000, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, sc-1616). Protein bands were scanned using an EPSON Perfection 4870 Photo scanner and quantitatively analyzed by Scion Image software.

Example 11

A 20 μl bed volume of protein A beads (POROS® MabCapture™, Applied Biosystems®, CA, USA) was washed twice in 1 ml PBS by centrifugation (300 g, 1 min) and removal of the supernatant. Beads were coated with antibody by incubating beads with 10 μg antibody in 0.2 ml PBS for 30 minutes and 30 rpm at room temperature. Beads were washed again twice in 1 ml PBS and beads were taken up in 0.4 ml supernatant of a LB overnight culture of A. baumannii. Supernatant was prepared by centrifugation of the bacterial culture at >4000 g for 5 minutes and supernatant was filtered through a 0.2 um filter for syringes (Nalgene #194-2520). The mixture was incubated for 1 h and 30 rpm at room temperature. Beads were washed again twice in 1 ml PBS. Finally, beads were resuspended in 30 μl lysis buffer for NuPAGE® 4%-20% Bis-Tris gels (NP0322BOX, Invitrogen) and incubated at 98° C. for 5 min. The sample was tested for presence of native FimA by immunoblot analysis as described above according to the manufacturer's instructions for denatured, reduced 4%-20% Bis-Tris gels using MES running buffer (IM-8042 Version H, Invitrogen). Rabbit immune serum against FimA was used for detection of FimA.

Cells were collected in 600 μL RIPA lysis buffer and stored at −80 °C before protein extraction. Samples were centrifuged at 10 000 g for 10 min at 4 °C and supernatants were harvested. Protein concentrations were measured with Bio‐Rad Protein Assay Dye Reagent Concentrate (500‐0006, Bio‐Rad, Temse, Belgium). Proteins were diluted in RIPA lysis and loading buffers.

After blocking with 5% (wt/vol) dry milk in TBS containing 0.1% triton (TBST), the membrane was incubated overnight at 4 °C with primary anti‐IRG1 antibody (Ab222411, Abcam) diluted 1 : 250 in 1% (wt/vol) BSA in TBST with constant shaking. After three washing steps with TBST, the membrane was incubated with anti‐rabbit antibody coupled to horseradish peroxidase and revealed by chemoluminescence using Pierce™ ECL detection reagents (Thermo Fisher Scientific). For the second hybridization, the membrane was incubated with anti‐actin antibody (MAB 1501, Millipore, Overijse, Belgium) for 90 min at RT in 1% (wt/vol) BSA in TBST with constant shaking.

Cells were washed once with ice-cold PBS, and lysed in RIPA buffer (Thermo, 88900) supplemented with protease inhibitors (Thermo, 87786). Protein concentration was determined using bicinchoninic acid assay (Thermo, 23225), according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Equal protein amounts were brought to same volumes with lysis buffer, reducing agent and LDS loading buffer. Lysates were then heated to 95°C for 10 minutes, and separated on 4-12% Trisacetate gels (Invitrogen, NP0322BOX). Protein was transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane in an iBlot 2 apparatus. After transfer, the membrane was blocked with Licor blocking buffer (Licor, 927-500000) for 1 hour at room temperature with shaking. The membranes were incubated with 1:750 anti-HOXD13 (abcam ab229234) and 1:3000 anti-HSP90 (BD Biosciences, 610419) antibody diluted in 5% non-fat milk in TBST overnight at 4°C with shaking. The next day, membranes were washed three times with TBST for 5 minutes at room temperature, incubated with fluorescent anti-mouse (IRDye 800CW Donkey anti-Mouse, Li-Cor P/N 925-32212) and anti-rabbit (IRDye 680LT Donkey anti-Rabbit, Li-Cor P/N 925-68023) secondary antibodies at 1:10000 dilution according to the manufacturer’s protocol, and washed three times in TBS-T for 5 minutes in the dark.

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.
