Dna pkcs

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific

DNA-PKcs is a serine/threonine-protein kinase that plays a crucial role in the non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) pathway of DNA double-strand break repair. It is an essential component of the DNA damage response and is involved in the regulation of various cellular processes, including cell cycle progression and apoptosis.

Uninfected (C) and Q- or P-infected cells were harvested 48 hpi (MOI = 0.005) using RIPA cell lysis buffer with protease and phosphatase inhibitors. Cell lysates were sonicated and cleared by centrifugation at 10,000 rpm for 10 min. The protein was quantified using BCA (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Equal amounts of protein were loaded into 4%–20% pre-cast gels, transferred to PVDF membranes and subsequently probed with primary antibodies (pSTAT3 # 9131S; STAT3 # 9132S; Sox2 # 23064S; Nestin # MA1-110; CD44 # 3570S; pAKT # 9271S; AKT #2920S; IL6R # PA5-102425; IL6ST # 3732S; γH2AX # 9718S; DNA-PKcs # MA5-32192; and GFAP # MA5-12023). Nestin, IL6R, DNA-PKcs and GFAP were purchased from Invitrogen (Waltham, MA) and the rest of the antibodies were procured from Cell Signaling Technology. Membranes were washed using TBS with 0.05% Tween 20 three times and then incubated with HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies (goat anti-rabbit IgG; #7074 and horse anti-mouse IgG; #7076; Cell Signaling Technology) for 1 h at room temperature (RT). Membranes were developed using ChemiDoc MP Imaging System (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA). Anti-Beta tubulin antibody (# ab6046, ABCAm, Waltham, MA) was used as both protein transfer and loading control.

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.
