Bradford colorimetric assay

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

The Bradford colorimetric assay is a laboratory technique used to quantify the total protein concentration in a sample. It is a spectrophotometric method that relies on the binding of the Coomassie Brilliant Blue dye to proteins, resulting in a color change that can be measured and correlated to the protein concentration.

Cell lysates for protein expression studies were prepared as per our previous reports (29 (link), 30 (link)). Briefly, after cell harvesting, cells were lysed with Radioimmunoprecipitation assay buffer (RIPA buffer) and protein quantification of the samples was measured by the Bradford colorimetric assay (Sigma-Aldrich) using BSA as standard. Equal amounts of protein (40 µg) were loaded to polyacrylamide gel, and the proteins were resolved in 8%–15% gel using Miniprotein Tetra System (Bio-Rad). The gel was transferred to Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes and immunoblotted using specific antibodies against various proteins. Secondary antibodies (Horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated) at a dilution of 1:2,000 (Santa Cruz/CST-USA) and directed against primary antibodies were used, and the blots were developed with Immobilon Western Chemiluminescent HRP Substrate. Signal intensities of bands were detected and quantified by ChemiDoc Imaging System (Bio-Rad).

SK-BR-3, LNCaP, and MCF-7 cells grown in 100-mm dishes at 37 °C, were collected and centrifuged at 1200 rpm for 5 min; the cell pellets were lysed in a buffer containing 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.4), 0.5% Nonidet-P-40, and 150 mM NaCl in the presence of protease inhibitors (Roche, IN, USA). After incubation on ice for 20 min, the extracts were clarified by centrifugation at 12,000 rpm for 15 min at 4 °C. Protein concentration was determined by the Bradford colorimetric assay (Sigma-Aldrich), and Western blotting analyses were performed by incubating the membranes with anti-ErbB2, anti-PD-L1, or anti-EGFR antibodies, followed by the HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies. Figure S7 shows whole blots relative to the Western Blotting analyses shown in Figure 2.

For Western blot analysis, protein content, typically 40–100 μg, was quantified by the Bradford colorimetric assay (Sigma Aldrich). Samples were dissolved in 5X sample buffer (Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) 10%; Bromophenol blue 0.02%; glycerol 30%; Tris-HCL 0.5 M) and 2–5% Beta-mercaptoethanol (Sigma Aldrich); heated at 95–100 °C for 5 minutes and then centrifuged at 10000 RPM for 1 minute. The proteins were resolved in 10–15% SDS-PAGE and transferred into a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were washed one time in Tris Buffer Saline (TBS) and then blocked in 5% solution of nonfat dry milk in Tris Buffered Saline with Tween® 20 (TBST) for 1 hour. Then, membranes were stained with the primary antibody diluted at 1:1000 at 4 °C overnight. After washing 30 minutes with TBST, membrane were incubated with secondary antibody (Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG Antibody, (H+L) HRP conjugate at 1:2000 dilution or Anti-Mouse IgG antibody, dilution 1:3000) for 1 hour at room temperature. Membranes were washed for 30 minutes in TBST and then exposed with SuperSignal West Pico PLUS Chemiluminescent Substrate (ThermoFischer).

Lipid Peroxidation Analysis in Renal Tissue

For lipid peroxidation analysis, renal tissue (100 mg/mL) was homogenized in RIPA
buffer (Sigma-Aldrich) and centrifuged at 1600 g for 10 min at
4°C (Z 36 HK, Hermle-Labortechnik, Germany). Supernatant was collected to
determine thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), as described by
Draper et al. (19 (link)). TBARS levels were
calculated based on the standard curve of malondialdehyde (MDA) (Cayman
Chemical, USA) (0 to 50 µM). TBARS levels (μM) in renal tissue were normalized
by protein concentration (mg/mL) and reported as μM/mg protein.
Peroxidase activity was measured by disappearance of H2O2at 240 nm (20 (link)), while total glutathione
peroxidase (GPx) activity was determined according to Paglia and Valentine
(21 (link)). Peroxidase and GPx activities
were normalized by protein concentration (mg/mL) and are reported as mU/mg
protein.
Total protein concentration from kidney homogenates was determined by Bradford
colorimetric assay at 595 nm (Sigma-Aldrich). Bovine serum albumin
(Sigma-Aldrich) (0 to 1.4 mg/mL) was used as standard.

For quantification of TP expression levels of different BaMV-based vectors, ELISA was performed as described previously (Jiang et al., 2019 (link)). TSP samples were prepared from inoculated leaves with 1:5 (w/v) ELSIA coating buffer (0.1 M carbonate/bicarbonate buffer, pH 9.6). Following centrifugation at 12,000 × g for 10 min, the supernatant was recovered and quantified for TSP using Bradford colorimetric assay (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, United States). The concentration of TSP in each sample was adjusted to approximately 5.5–6.5 mg/mL and 0.8–1.0 mg/mL in IC or AWF, respectively. The 96-well microtiter plates were coated with 5-fold serial dilutions of protein extracts from non-inoculated, inoculated leaves and purified plant-made SSExt mIFNγ(SP)10 or purified mIFNγ protein derived from E. coli for standard curve and the positive control. The concentration of TP was determined by comparison with known amounts of the purified mIFNγ protein derived from E. coli. All measurements were performed in triplicates.

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.
