The Anti-Rad51 antibody is a laboratory tool used to detect and study the Rad51 protein. Rad51 is a key protein involved in the process of homologous recombination, which plays a crucial role in DNA repair. The antibody can be used in various experimental techniques, such as Western blotting, immunoprecipitation, and immunohistochemistry, to identify and quantify the Rad51 protein in biological samples.

Cells (4 × 105) were plated, treated with PARPi and ATRi for 12 or 24 h, washed in cold PBS, and cytospun onto a glass slide at 79 × g for 5 min. Cells were treated with 0.5% Triton and fixed in cold methanol, followed by blocking in PBS with 0.1% Triton, 2% bovine serum albumin and 10% milk. Cells were incubated with primary anti-γH2AX antibody (1:500, Millipore), anti-BRCA2 (1:1000, Millipore), anti-Rad51 antibody (1:200, Santa Cruz), and anti-RPA (1:200, Thermo Fisher Scientific) overnight at 4 °C in a humidified chamber after incubation with primary anti-γH2AX antibody (1:500, Millipore) for 2 h at room temperature for double staining. Following washing with TBST (Boston Bioproduct), cells were incubated with secondary antibodies Alexa-488 anti-mouse (1:250; Jackson ImmunoResearch) and Cy3 anti-rabbit (1:250; Jackson ImmunoResearch) for 1 h at room temperature, and slides were mounted with VectaShield (DAPI included, Vector Laboratories).

HNSCC cells were plated in 8-well chamber slides (30,000 cells/well) in 10% growth medium containing primocin. Cells were transfected using the protocol described earlier. At 48 hours post-plating, cells were left un-radiated or irradiated with an optimal dose of radiation and were analyzed 4 h later following incubation with anti-p-H2AX antibody (1:2000 dilution) or analyzed at 12–24 h after incubation with anti-Rad51 antibody (1:50 dilution, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA). This step was followed by incubation with AlexaFlour-560 or AlexaFlour-647 IgG secondary antibody (1:500 dilution, Life Technologies, Carlsbald, CA, USA). Images were captured using a 60x or 100x oil objective on a Nikon fluorescence or Olympus confocal microscope. Cells with more than five foci were counted as positive. The relative percentage of positive cells was determined in 10 fields using the formula: (Number of positive cells per field/Total number of cells)*100. Each experiment was replicated atleast 2–3 times.

Cancer cells were lysed in solubilization buffer (10 mmol/L Tris‐HCl, pH 7.4, 0.1% [w/v] Nonidet P‐40, 0.1% [w/v] sodium deoxycholate, 0.1% [w/v] SDS, 150 mmol/L NaCl, 1 mmol/L EDTA, and 10 μg/mL aprotinin). Lysates were subjected to SDS‐PAGE using 10% (w/v) gels under reducing conditions. The separated proteins were electrotransferred to polyvinylidene difluoride membranes using a semi‐dry blotter. Membranes were treated with 5% (w/v) skimmed milk in 10 mmol/L Tris‐HCl, pH 7.4, 0.1% (v/v) Tween20, and 150 mmol/L NaCl for 1 h. Each membrane was then reacted with an anti‐Survivin antibody (AF‐886 R&D systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA), anti‐RAD51 antibody (sc‐8349 Santa Cruz, St. Louis, MO, USA), anti‐PLK1 antibody (37‐7000 Thermo Fisher Scientific), anti‐ZNF143 antibody (H00007702‐M01 Abnova, Taipei, Taiwan), anti‐Poly (ADP‐ribose) polymerase (PARP) antibody (9542S Cell Signaling Technologies, Danvers, MA, USA), anti‐Flag antibody (F1804 Sigma‐Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), and anti‐ β‐actin antibody (A5316 Sigma‐Aldrich). After washing the membranes with T‐TBS, they were reacted with a horseradish peroxidase‐conjugated secondary antibody. They were then treated with an ECL kit (GE Healthcare Biosciences) and exposed to LAS‐3000 (GE Healthcare Biosciences).

Immunofluorescent foci formation was assayed as we described (31 (link)). HEK-293 cells were seeded onto poly-d-lysine coverslips (neuVitro, 18-mm diameter, catalog number GG-18-PDL) and transfected with control, Exo1, EEPD1, or Exo1/EEPD1 siRNA, and 44–48 h later, cells were treated with 10 mm hydroxyurea for 0–24 h. Cells were pre-extracted with 0.5% Triton X-100/PBS for 5 min on ice and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 20 min. Coverslips were blocked for 1 h with 1% BSA/PBS and incubated with primary rabbit polyclonal anti-Rad51 antibody (1:100; Santa Cruz Biotechnology (H-92) sc-8349) overnight in a wet chamber at 4 °C. Coverslips were washed four times with PBS, incubated with secondary antibody goat anti-rabbit Alexa Fluor 594 (Invitrogen) 1:500 for 1 h, washed four times with TBS, mounted, and analyzed by confocal microscopy as above.

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.
