Bca protein quantification kit

Manufactured by CWBIO
Sourced in China

The BCA protein quantification kit is a laboratory tool used to determine the concentration of proteins in a sample. It employs the bicinchoninic acid (BCA) assay, a colorimetric detection method that measures the reduction of copper ions by proteins in an alkaline environment. The resulting purple-colored reaction product can be measured spectrophotometrically, allowing for the quantification of protein levels.

RPTCs were treated with or without 20 μmol/L cisplatin for 24 hours. Total cell proteins were extracted using SDS lysis buffer containing 1× Protease Inhibitor Cocktail (RF232581; Thermo) and were quantified using BCA Protein Quantification Kit (CW0014; Cwbiotech Company, China). Kidney cortex tissues were homogenized in SDS lysis buffer containing 1× Protease Inhibitor Cocktail at 4°C and then were centrifuged at 15 322 g for 5 minutes at 4°C. The supernatants were used for protein quantification. Protein samples were separated using SDS‐PAGE (polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) and then were transferred onto PVDF membrane (IPVH00010; Immobilon) hydrated with methanol. The membranes were incubated with primary antibodies over night at 4°C and secondary antibodies for 2 hours at room temperature. The primary antibodies were rabbit anti‐HNF1β antibody (12533‐1‐AP; Thermo Fisher Scientific), rabbit anti‐caspase 3 antibody (9662; CST) and rabbit anti‐cleaved PARP antibody (BS7047; BioWord) purchased from Cell Signaling Company. The second antibodies were HRP‐labelled anti‐mouse (AS003; ABdone) or anti‐rabbit IgG antibody (AS014; ABdone).

Following induction using methanol for 96 h, the supernatant of the high-expressing clone was collected and dialyzed against a binding buffer (20 mM phosphate buffer, 300 mM NaCl, pH 7.4) overnight using a 10 kDa cutoff dialysis membrane (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA). Subsequent to filtering through 0.22 um filters (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA), the supernatants were added to a nickel-nitrilotriacetic acid (Ni-NTA) agarose column (GE, Boston, FA, USA) with 1 mL/min flow velocity, and then the column was washed with ten column volumes of binding buffer. The interest protein bound to the column was eluted with 250 mM imidazole in a binding buffer. The elution fraction containing the interest protein was dialyzed against PBS overnight to remove the imidazole. Finally, the protein was concentrated using ultrafiltration and the concentration of the purified protein was measured using a BCA protein quantification kit (CW biotech, Beijing, China) and HPLC (Shimadzu, Tyoto, Japan) was used to determine the purity of this BsDb, as described in our previous study [47 (link)].

The cells were cultured in 25 cm2 flasks. Molding was performed 24 h after drug administration, and then the proteins were extracted and purified using the mammalian protein extraction kit (CW Biotech, Beijing, China). Then, the proteins were quantified by the BCA protein quantification kit (CW Biotech, Beijing, China). Protein extracts were diluted to the same concentration and added into the loading buffer (CW Biotech, Beijing, China) at a ratio of 1 : 4 for 10 min in a boiling water bath. The protein samples were separated from the sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and transferred onto the polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane using a semidry blotter. The resulting PVDF membrane was blocked for 2 h using the blocking buffer [5% milk in Tris-buffered saline with Tween 20 (TBST)]. Then, primary antibodies were prepared and incubated overnight at 4 °C. The membrane was washed three times using TBST.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The culture was diluted 1:100 with liquid LB, and incubated at 37°C until the OD600 reached a value of 0.6–0.8. Protein expression was induced by adding isopropyl-β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) at a final concentration of 0.5 mM into the culture, and allowed to last for 10 h at 18°C. The bacterial cells (500 ml) were collected by centrifugation (8000 g for 10 min, 4°C), and the cell pellet was suspended with the lysis buffer (50 mg/ml Lysozyme and 20 mM Tris-HCl buffer at pH 7.4). The suspension was sonicated on ice, and centrifuged (12000 g for 30 min, 4°C) for a second time. Recombinant PyasOBP2 was examined by Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate—Polyacrylamide Gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Protein present in the supernatant was purified with a Ni-NTA His·Bind Resin column (7 Sea Biotech, Shanghai, China). The purified protein was assessed by SDS-PAGE, identified with the anti-His tag monoclonal antibody (Cwbio biotech, Beijing, China) by the Western Blot analysis, and desalted in a dialysis buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl at pH 7.4). To avoid confounding effects on subsequent experiments, His-tag was removed from the protein using a recombinant enterokinase (rEK) (Yeasen Biotech, Shanghai, China), and the concentration of the protein was assayed by the BCA protein quantification kit (Cwbio biotech, Beijing, China).

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.
