Afterwards, primary monoclonal antibody to HSP27 or phospho-HSP27 (1:1000, Santa Cruz Biotechnologies, Dallas, TX, USA) were added and incubated overnight at 4 °C with constant agitation. Membranes were washed in TBS-T repeatedly, and HRP-conjugated secondary antibody (1:10000) (GE Healthcare, Freiburg, Germany) was added for 1 h at room temperature. After washing, chemiluminescent substrate (ECL reagent, Amersham Biosciences, Munich, Germany) was added for 1–5 min and bands were visualized on plain film. β-Actin served as loading control (1:000, rabbit anti-human β-Actin, Cell Signaling Technology, Dallas, TX, USA). HSP27 and phospho-HSP27 levels were quantified by band densitometry analysis with the help of HSP27- and pHSP27-to-actin ratios. Mean HSP27- and pHSP27-to-actin ratios for the myocardial infarction group were set as 1 and relative increases in HSP27 and pHSP27 levels in the control group were compared accordingly. Relative HSP27 and pHSP27 levels between groups based on actin loading are shown.

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.
