Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide
gel electrophoresis (SDS–PAGE) was used to separate protein
samples prior to Western blotting. The protein sample (20 μL)
was prepared in NuPAGE LDS Sample Buffer (4×) (LifeTechnologies)
and NuPAGE Sample Reducing Agent (10×) (Life Technologies) and
run on a NuPAGE 4 to 12% gradient Bis-Tris (Life Technologies) gel
with MES running buffer (Life Technologies) (200 V, 35 min). The proteins
were transferred from the gel to an iBlot Transfer Stack with a polyvinylidene
fluoride (PVDF) membrane (0.2 μm pore size) using the iBlot
Dry Blotting System (Life Technologies) according to the manufacturer’s
protocol. After the transfer, the PVDF membrane was blocked with 5%
(w/v) dry skimmed milk powder in PBS with 0.05% Tween 20 (blocking
buffer) (RT, 1 h, gentle agitation). The membrane was then incubated
with primary antibodies in blocking buffer (1:1000, 4 °C overnight
or RT for 1 h) followed by washing four times with PBS-T (RT, 10 min).
After being washed, the membrane was incubated with Alexa Fluor 488-
or 594-labeled secondary antibody (1:1000, RT, 1 h). After incubation,
the membrane was washed four times with PBS-T and imaged using a Typhoon
9400 laser-based scanner (GE Healthcare) at 550 V using a green (532
nm) excitation laser to excite Alexa Fluor 594 or a blue (488 nm)

Treated tissues or cells were washed with precooled PBS and then lysed with an appropriate volume of RIPA lysis buffer (P0013C, Beyotime, Haimen, China) containing protease inhibitors; following centrifugation, the supernatant was collected. The total protein concentration of each sample was determined by the bicinchoninic acid (BCA) method (Solarbio, Beijing, China). Protein samples were boiled in NuPAGE™ LDS sample buffer (4×) (#84788, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) for denaturation and stability. Then, 10% SDS-PAGE gels were prepared, and 40 μg of protein samples were added. After the markers bands had completely separated by constant pressure electrophoresis, the proteins were transferred to a 0.22-μm polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane at constant pressure for approximately 90 min. Membranes were blocked with 5% skimmed milk at room temperature for 1 h, followed by incubation with primary and secondary antibodies, enhanced chemiluminescent (ECL) development, and imaging.

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.
