This assay performed as described previously (Connelly et al., 2020 (link))(Piccolo et al., 2019 (link)). PCR-generated, biotin end-labeled 147 bp DNA probes (2 μg) were coupled to M280-streptavidin Dynabeads according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Invitrogen). All cytosines in the probes were either non-methylated or methylated and only occurred in a single sequence context (CG, CAC or CAT), sequences in the Key resources table. Bead-DNA complexes were then co-incubated with 20 μg of rat brain nuclear protein extract (Mellén et al., 2017 (link)) for 1.5 hours at 4◦C. Following extensive washing, bead-bound proteins were eluted using Laemmli buffer (Sigma) and resolved on a 4%–15% SDS-polyacrylamide gel (NEB). The presence of MeCP2 was assayed by western blot using MeCP2 (Sigma M6818; RRID:AB_262075) diluted 1:1000; with secondary detection employing Li-COR IRDye 800CW Donkey anti-Mouse (926-32212) diluted 1:10,000, then scanned using a LI-COR Odyssey CLx machine.

Anti-VEGF antibody (1:500) was added to the membranes (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA) for 1 h at room temperature. Membranes were probed with goat anti-rat monoclonal horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody (Amersham Life Science, Arlington Heights, IL, USA). The signals were detected by using the enhanced chemiluminescence method (Amersham Life Sciences) and were exposed to X-ray film for autoradiography. The membranes were stripped with a stripping buffer for 15 min at room temperature and immunoblotted with a rabbit anti-mouse actin monoclonal antibody (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc.). The images were scanned and the signal intensity was quantified with Image J software (NIH, Bethesda, MD, USA).

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.
