Western Blotting and qPCR Analysis of Signaling Proteins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Western blotting was performed as described previously using specific antibodies against RORα, actin (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA), pSTAT3, STAT3, JAK1, JAK2, SRC, PIAS3, and SHP-1 (Cell Signaling Technology, Beverly, MA, USA)32 (link). Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) was performed using an ABI StepOnePlusTM Real-time PCR system (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA) using specific primers (Supplementary Table S1). Relative mRNA levels of target genes were estimated using the equation 2−ΔCt (ΔCt = Ct of target gene minus Ct of β-actin or 18 S rRNA) and are presented relative to the level of the control group, which was designated as 1. The detailed method for qPCR is described in Han et al.32 (link).

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.
