Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The activation of caspase8 and the level of protein expression of Fas and FADD, were detected by immunoblotting. Briefly, 2×105 cells were transfected with pEGFPC1 vector alone or with GFP-HGV-APT. The expression of GFP and GFP-HGV-APT was confirmed by fluorescence microscopy. At the indicated time periods green cells were sorted using BD FACSAria III cell sorter (Becton Dickinson, Palo Alto CA, USA), whole cell lysates were prepared from green fluorescent cells using RIPA Buffer and according to the manufacture's instructions (Thermo-Scientific). Proteins (30 μg) were separated by denaturing SDS-PAGE and then transferred onto a PVDF membrane. The membranes were blocked in 5% non-fat dry milk in TBS 0.1% Tween and then incubated overnight with the following primary antibodies: anti-active caspase8 (Cell Signaling Technology, Beverly, USA), anti FAS, and anti FADD antibodies (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc.) at 4 °C. Then, the blots were incubated with the corresponding InfraRed dye secondary antibodies (Licor). The visualization of the membrane was carried using Licor membrane scanner.

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.
