PBMCs cellular lysates were prepared by gentle shaking and applying 10 pulses of sonication (Branson Sonifier 150) in RIPA buffer supplemented with protease inhibitor PhenylMethylSulfonylFluoride 1 mM. Similarly, plasma samples were diluted in RIPA buffer (1:1, v/v) and sonicated as previously described. Protein content was determined using the Bradford method and electrophoresis was carried out in 12% acrylamide SDS–PAGE, loading 60 µg samples. Then, proteins were transferred to PVDF membranes (Biorad, Hercules, CA, USA) and incubated with primary antibody solutions [1:1000] for NLRP3 (D4D8T, Cell Signaling), IL-1β (D2F3B, Cell Signaling), caspase-1 (2225, Cell Signaling), and gasdermin-D (sc-376318, Santa Cruz) quantification. Membranes were then incubated with their respective secondary antibody [1:2000] and immunolabeled proteins were detected by chemiluminescence method using Western Bright Sirius HRP substrate (Advansta, San Jose, CA, USA). Western blot images were finally quantified using Image-Lab software (Biorad, Hercules, CA, USA).

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.
