Western Blot Analysis of Protein Markers

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total protein was extracted from cells using RIPA buffer containing 10% protease inhibitor cocktail (Sigma, St. Louis, MO). Protein concentration was determined using Bradford (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA), and 40 μg of each sample was fractionated by 10–12% SDS-PAGE and blotted onto a nitrocellulose membrane (Hybond-ECL; Amersham Biosciences, Little Chalfont, UK). Non-specific binding sites were blocked with 5% non-fat dry milk in PBS−0.1% Tween-20. The following primary antibodies were used: anti-FAM83F (N17) (sc-102517), anti-p-ERK1/2 (sc-7393), anti-ERK1(sc-94), anti-BRAF (sc-166), anti-RAF-1 (sc-133), anti-Vimentin (sc-32322), anti-TTF-1 (sc-13040), anti PAX-8 (sc-81353), anti-β-actin (sc-47778) (Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz, CA, USA), anti-Myc-tag (TA100010) (OriGene Technologies), and anti-LIN28B (Cell Signaling). The anti-Nis antibody was kindly donated by Dr. Sissy Jhiang.
Immunoexpression was detected with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies (GeHealthcare) and developed with luminol and p-cumaric acid (Sigma) reagents in the presence of H2O2. Chemoluminescence emission was visualized in an ImageQuant LAS4000 imaging system (GE Healthcare, Little Chalfont, UK).

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.
