Of the 40 paired HCC samples, randomly selected 8 HCCs and matched NCL tissues were homogenized in a RIPA lysis buffer. After centrifugation at 12,000 rpm and 4°C for 20 minutes, approximate 40 μg of protein were run on a 12% SDS-PAGE gel and transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride membrane (PVDF, Millipore). After blocking non-specific binding sites for 60 minutes with 5% non-fat milk, membranes were incubated with rabbit monoclonal antibody against EIF4EBP1 (1:1000; Cell signaling Technology), and GAPDH (1:1000; Sigma-Aldrich) at 4°C over night, respectively. Then membranes were washed three times with TBST for 15 minutes each time and incubated with HRP-conjugated anti-rabbit secondary antibody (1:1000; Santa Cruz) for 45 minutes at room temperature. The membrane was developed by an enhanced chemiluminescence system (ECL; cell signaling) after washed three times with TBST. The intensity of the protein bands was determined by using Image J software (http://rsb.info.nih.gov/).

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.
