Cells were harvested and lysed in 1 × RIPA buffer (25 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.6, 150 mM NaCl, 1% NP-40, 1% sodium deoxycholate, and 0.1% SDS) containing a protease inhibitor cocktail. The protein concentrations of each extracted protein sample were measured using Bio-Rad protein assay reagents. A total of 30 micrograms of each protein sample was subjected to SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. After electrophoresis, the proteins were transferred onto a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane. The membranes were blocked with 5% skim milk and then incubated with specific primary antibody overnight. The antibody-probed membrane was then washed 6 times with 1 × PBST (0.05% Tween 20 in 1 × PBS). After washing, the appropriate horseradish peroxidase-labeled secondary antibodies were added to the membrane for 1 h, and then washed with 1 × PBST. The bound antibodies were detected by enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) reagents (GE Healthcare Life Sciences; Uppsala, Sweden). The blot signals were visualized by X-ray film (Roche Applied Science, Mannheim, Germany). The intensities of signals were quantified by GeneTools software (SYNGEN, Cambridge, UK).

For additional confirmation of transgene integration, Southern blot analysis was performed with two PCR positive events using the method described in [14 (link)]. Briefly, gDNA was extracted from leaf tissues using the CTAB extraction method. Twenty micrograms of gDNA were digested overnight at 37 °C with HindIII, which cuts only once within the T-DNA region of the plasmid vectors used in transformation. Digested DNA was separated by electrophoresis in 0.8% agarose gel. The DNA was blotted onto a positively charged nylon membrane (Roche Diagnostics, Lewes, East Sussex, UK) by upward capillary in a 20× SSC buffer. A digoxigenin (DIG)-dUTP labelled nptII probe was hybridized to the blotted DNA. Hybridizing bands corresponding to the nptII gene were visualized by exposure to an X-ray film (Roche Diagnostics, Lewes, East Sussex, UK) for 30 min.

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.
