Precision plus protein westernc standard

Manufactured by Bio-Rad
Sourced in United States, Portugal

Precision Plus Protein WesternC Standards are a set of pre-stained protein standards used for the molecular weight determination of proteins in Western blotting applications. The standards contain a mixture of 10 recombinant proteins with molecular weights ranging from 10 to 250 kDa, which are covalently coupled to a blue-purple dye. This allows for the visualization of the protein standards during electrophoresis and protein transfer.

The total protein concentration was determined by a bicinchoninic acid (BCA) assay (Thermo Scientific, IL, USA). Samples were boiled for 10 min to induce the denaturation of protein to facilitate the separation of proteins based on size. Protein samples (30 mg) and Precision Plus Protein WesternC standards (Bio-Rad, CA, USA) were resolved on 4 to 15% gradient Mini-Protean TGX stain-free polyacrylamide gels (Bio-Rad) and then transferred onto polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (Merck Millipore, Australia). The blots were blocked with a solution of 5% bovine serum albumin (BSA) in Tris-buffered saline and Tween 20 (T-BST) for 1 h. The blots were then incubated with primary antibody targeting 4HNE (catalog number ab46545; Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA) in 1% BSA and T-BST overnight, washed, and then incubated with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG secondary antibody (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA).

First, the amount of protein in the PE was quantified by the Bradford protein assay (Biorad, CA, USA). Samples containing 20 μg of protein were then subjected to 7.5% SDS-PAGE under non-totally reducing (samples with β-mercaptoethanol incubated at 37°C for 15 min) conditions and electroblotted onto PVDF membranes (Millipore, Bedford, MA, USA). Blots were treated with 5% skimmed milk blocking buffer (TBS 1% Tween-20) and were incubated overnight at 4°C. After three washes with TBS-Tween buffer, the membranes were incubated for 1 h at room temperature with anti-human CD26 mAb (clone TP1/16). The TP1/16 anti-CD26 antibody was previously characterized25 (link) in immunoblots of cell lysates under partially denaturing conditions so that it could be compared with the better-known anti-CD26 1F7 mAb, both of which perform considerably better than other antibodies used in several immune techniques26 (link). Goat anti-mouse IgG-HRP conjugated secondary antibody Fc-Specific (Sigma Aldrich) and Precision Plus Protein, Western C Standards (Bio Rad, USA) was used for protein detection before membranes were exposed a few minutes to ECL Prime Western Blotting Reagents substrate solution (GE, Amersham, UK) under appropriate dark room conditions. Results were analysed with ChemiDoc XRS (BioRad) software.

Two-fold serial dilutions of isolated phage protein in 1X Laemmli sample buffer were heated at 95°C for 1 h. A 10-fold dilution of the Precision Plus Protein WesternC Standards (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA) was diluted in 1X Laemmli sample buffer and heated at 95°C for 10 min. Prepared samples were separated on a 4–20% Mini-PROTEAN TGX polyacrylamide gel (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA) at a constant voltage of 100 V for 45 min. Following separation, the gel was fixed for 10 min in a methanol/acetic acid/water (v/v/v 50:10:40) fixing solution. Protein bands were labeled with a Colloidal Blue Staining Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) as described in the manufacturer's instructions. Briefly, the fixed gel was incubated in the prepared staining solution (stainer A/stainer B/methanol/water v/v/v/v 20:5:20:55) for 3 h at room temperature with gentle shaking. The staining solution was replaced with distilled water and destained for 11 h at room temperature with gentle shaking. Following destaining, bands were visualized using an EDAS Imaging Station (Eastman Kodak Co., Rochester, NY) equipped with a DC290 digital camera and a white light box.

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.
