Whole cell protein extracts were obtained by lysing 2–5 × 106 cells with Laemmli sample buffer. Protein concentration was measured with the Micro BCATM Protein Assay Reagent kit (Thermo Scientific Pierce, Rockford, IL, USA). Protein extracts (25 μg) were subjected to reducing conditions before being subjected to electrophoresis on a polyacrylamide gel and then transferred to Immobilon-P membranes (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA). One hour after blocking with 5% (w/v) non-fat milk in Tris-buffered saline with 0.1% Tween®-20, the membranes were incubated with the specific primary antibodies against BCL-2 (clone 124, #M0887, Dako, Denmark), BIM (clone C34C5, #2933, Cell Signaling, Danvers, MA, USA), cleaved caspase 3 (#9661, Cell Signaling), ERK2 (clone 1B3B9, #05-157, Millipore, Temecula, CA, USA), NOXA (clone 114C307, #ab13654, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), MCL-1 (clone S-19, #sc-819, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA), PHB1 (clone H-80, #sc-28259, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), PHB2 (anti-REA, #07-234, Millipore), PARP (#9542, Cell Signaling), PUMA (#4976, Cell Signaling), β-Actin (clone AC-15, #A5441, Sigma-Aldrich) and Tubulin (clone Ab-1, #CP06, Oncogene, Darmstadt, Germany).

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.
