Monoclonal primary antibodies against human α-catenin (Cat#2028-1), β-catenin (Cat#1247-1), and E-cadherin (Cat#1702-1) were purchased from Epitomics (Burlingame, CA, USA). The primary monoclonal antibodies against the HA tag (Cat#ab9134) and human β-actin (Cat#sc-130300) were purchased from Abcam (Cambridge, UK) and Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Santa Cruz, CA, USA), respectively. The pcDNA3.1-HA-p65 and pcDNA3.1 vectors were kindly provided by Dr Jun Cui (Zhongshan School of Medicine, Sun Yat-sen University). The NF-κB inhibitor Bay 11-7082 was obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (St Louis, MO, USA).

Quantitative Analysis of Protein Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were harvested 48 hrs after siRNA transfection, and protein was isolated with RIPA buffer (Beyotime, China). Cellular protein was extracted from each group, and the total protein content was determined according to the instructions provided with the cell protein extraction kit. The total protein samples were separated on SDS-PAGE gels and transferred onto PVDF membranes (Millipore, USA). The membranes were immunoblotted overnight at 4°C with primary antibodies against the following targets: HnRNPL (1:800; Abcam, UK), p53 (1:800; Abcam, UK), Bcl2 (1:1000; Abcam, UK), and human β-actin (1:500; Abcam, UK). The PVDF membranes were washed with TBST and then incubated with secondary HRP-conjugated goat IgG (1:5000; ZSGB-BIO,China) for 1 hr at 37°C. Signals were detected with a Bio-Rad Image Lab system (Bio-Rad, USA). The images were quantified by Image J software, and the relative protein expression levels were normalized to β-actin levels in each sample. All experiments were performed in triplicate.

The whole-blood sample from each individual was divided into 7 1-ml aliquots. The samples were either treated or untreated, as follows: Tube 1, concanavalin A as positive control (Sigma-Aldrich, Bremen, Germany); Tube 2, untreated sample as negative control; Tube 3, human albumin (Fresenius, Bad Homburg, Germany); Tube 4, human β-actin (Abcam; Cambridge, UK); Tube 5, human glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH; Sigma-Aldrich, Bremen, Germany); Tube 6, human insulin (Eli Lilly; Bad Homburg, Germany); and Tube 7, untreated sample as negative control. All proteins were used at the same two concentrations (low: 2 µg/ml and high: 2 mg/ml), which were confirmed using the Bradford assay. For incubations at the 2-mg/ml concentration, the proteins were pre-incubated with a BioTrek transfection reagent (Stratagene, La Jolla, CA, USA). For intracellular cytokine assays (IL-2, IFg) and for HLA-DR activation, anti-CD28 and CD49d were used to co-stimulate T cells.

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.
