Extracts from cortical tissue were prepared using RIPA buffer (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL), protease inhibitors (Complete Mini, Roche, Mannheim, Germany) and phosphatase inhibitors (Phosphatase Inhibitor Cocktail Set III, Calbiochem, San Diego, CA). Samples were homogenized using a Pro Homogenizer (ProScientific Inc., Oxford, CT) and protein concentration was determined using the bicinchoninic acid (BCA) assay (ThermoScientific) with bovine serum albumin as a standard. 30 µg of protein was loaded per lane on a 4–12% gradient acrylamide gel. Proteins were transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane and probed with an anti-phosphorylated ERK (p44/p42 MAPK, #9101, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA) or an anti-ERK (p44/p42 MAPK, #4695, Cell Signaling Technologies) specific antibody. Western blots were imaged and quantitated using the Licor Odyssey Infrared Imaging System and pERK was normalized to total ERK. Combined data are expressed as the mean ± SEM and Student’s t-test was used to detect significant (p<0.05) differences in the levels of pERK.

Cells were lysed in the M-PER mammalian protein extraction reagent (Thermo, Rockford, IL) containing halt protease inhibitor single-use cocktail (Thermo). The protein concentration was determined by the BCA reagents (Thermo). About 10 μg proteins were denatured and applied to sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The electrophoresis products were transferred to a polyvinyl idenefluoride (PVDF) film and PVDF membranes were then incubated at room temperature with specific primary antibody. After a standard washing, membranes were incubated with horse radish peroxidase (HRP)-labeled secondary antibody. The assay developed using a chemiluminescent substrate. The primary antibodies used in this study included antibodies against β-actin, p-p44/p42 MAPK, p44/p42 MAPK, p-p38 MAPK, p38 MAPK, p-JNK, JNK (Cell Signaling Technology), EV71 VP1 (Abnova) and COX-2 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology).

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.
