Six male Dyt1 Ch2KO and eight CT littermates about 4 months of age, and seven male Dyt1 Ch2KO and six CT littermates at 13 months of age were used for Western blot analysis. The striata were dissected and homogenized in 200 μl of ice-cold lysis buffer, and the proteins were extracted in 1% Triton X-100-containing buffer and quantified as previously described (Yokoi et al., 2010 (link)). Protein samples were separated on 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and transferred to Millipore Immobilon-FL transfer PVDF membranes. The membranes were blocked with LI-COR Odyssey blocking buffer and incubated at 4°C overnight with goat anti-ChAT antibody (EMD Millipore, AB144P; 1:1,000 dilution) and rabbit anti-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) antibody (Santa Cruz, sc-25778; 1:1,000 dilution). LI-COR IRDye 800CW donkey anti-goat IgG (H+L) or LI-COR IRDye 680RD donkey anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) were used when appropriate at the dilution of 1:15,556. The signals were detected with an LI-COR Odyssey imaging system. The density of the corresponding protein band was normalized to those of GAPDH. Western blot analysis was performed in duplicate.

Seven Dyt1 KI mice and six WT littermates of either sex at postnatal 19 days were used for Western blot analysis. The cerebellum was dissected and homogenized in 200 μl of ice-cold lysis buffer, and the proteins were extracted in 1% Triton X-100-containing buffer and quantified as previously described (Yokoi et al., 2010 (link)). Protein samples were separated on 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and transferred to Millipore Immobilon–FL transfer PVDF membranes. The PVDF membranes were blocked with LI-COR Odyssey blocking buffer and incubated at 4°C overnight with mouse anti-Slo1/BKAlpha potassium channel antibody (UC Davis/NIH NeuroMab clone L6/60; 1:4,000 dilution), rabbit anti-KCNN2 (KCa2.2, SK2) antibody (Alomone lab, APC-028; 1:4,000 dilution), and rabbit anti-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) antibody (Santa Cruz, sc-25778; 1:1,000 dilution). LI-COR IRDye 800CW donkey anti-goat IgG (H+L) or LI-COR IRDye 680RD donkey anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) were used when appropriate at the dilution of 1:15,556. The infrared emission signals were detected and recorded as digital data by a LI-COR Odyssey imaging system. The density of the corresponding protein band was normalized to those of GAPDH. The western blot signals were not saturated and within the linear range. Western blot analysis was performed in duplicate.

Whole-cell lysates were used for western blot analysis. Cells were washed in PBS and resuspended in 1× Laemmli buffer (12 mM Tris-HCl pH 6.8, 0.4% SDS, 2% glycerol, 1% β-mercaptoethanol and 0.002% Bromophenol Blue) in PBS and incubated at 95°C for 5 min. Approximately 5×106 cells were loaded onto a 4% or 6% gel, resolved and then blotted (Bio-Rad blotting system) onto PVDF Immobilon®-FL transfer membranes (0.45 μm, Millipore) for 1 h at 100 V. Membranes were blocked in PBST plus 5% skimmed milk powder. The rabbit peroxidase anti-peroxidase soluble complex (PAP) was diluted 1:2000 in PBST plus 5% skimmed milk and incubated for 30 min at room temperature. The mouse-anti-EF1α (cat. no. sc-21758, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), rat-anti-HA and the rabbit-anti-HA antibodies (cat. no. ROAHAHA Roche and N6908-2ML, respectively, Sigma) were used 1:1000 in PBST plus 5% skimmed milk. Secondary antibodies were: swine anti-rabbit-IgG conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (HRP) (1:10,000, Dako) and rabbit anti-rat HRP conjugate (1:10,000, Dako), all in PBST plus 5% skimmed milk. After each incubation with the antibodies, the membranes were washed three times for 5 min in PBST and once for 5 min in PBS. SuperSignal West Femto Maximum Sensitivity Substrate (Thermo Scientific) and Amersham™ Imager 600 (GE Healthcare Life Sciences) were used to visualize the protein bands on the blots.

Western Blot Analysis of Cellular Proteins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cell extracts were mixed with Laemmli buffer to a final concentration of 5 million cell-equivalents/15 μl. Either one million or five million cell-equivalents (depending on the experiment) were loaded per lane on an SDS-polyacrylamide gel. The gels were resolved by 80-120V and transferred (wet transfer, 100V for 1h) onto PVDF Immobilon- FL transfer membranes (0.45 μm, MILLIPORE), followed by blocking (5% milk in PBS + 0.1% Tween-20 (PBST)) for 1 h at room temperature. Primary antibodies were incubated for either 1 h at room temperature or overnight at 4°C. Secondary antibodies were applied for 1 h at room temperature. All used antibodies were diluted in blocking solution. The following antibodies were used: mouse anti-TAC102 (1:1000, [24 (link)]), rabbit anti-HA (1:1000, Sigma-Aldrich), rabbit anti-ATOM40 (1:10000, [61 (link)]), rabbit anti-mouse HRP-conjugated (1:10000, Dako) and swine anti-rabbit HRP-conjugate (1:10000, Dako), rabbit peroxidase anti-peroxidase soluble complex (PAP) (1:2000, for detection of the PTP tag). After antibody incubation, the membranes were washed three times with PBST. A final wash with PBS was performed prior to detection of the protein with the SuperSignal West Femto Maximum Sensitivity Substrate (ThermoFisher Scientific). The Amersham Imager 600 (GE Healthcare) was used to visualize the protein bands on the blot.

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.
