Seventy-two hours after transfection, total protein was extracted from each group with RIPA lysates (Epizyme, China) containing protease inhibitors (Epizyme, China) (1 : 100) and nucleases (Haigene, China) (1 : 100) and quantified with BCA Protein Assay Kit (Cwbio, China). After each lane was loaded with 20 μg protein by SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis, the protein ladders were transferred to a PVDF membrane (Milipore, USA). And then, the membrane was blocked at room temperature for 5 minutes with a fast blocking solution (Epizyme, China) (1 : 100) and incubated with rabbit anti-monkey IκBα monoclonal antibody (CST, USA) (1 : 5000) and rabbit anti-monkey ß-actin monoclonal antibody (CST, USA) (1 : 10000) overnight at 4°C. Then HRP-labeled goat anti-rabbit IgG secondary antibody (CST, USA) (1 : 5000) was added and incubated for 1 hour at room temperature. Specific signals were visualized with Immobilon Western chemiluminescence HRP Substrate (Milipore, USA) and acquired with ChemiDocTM Touch Imaging System (Bio-Rad, USA). The gray value of each band and the relative expression of IκBα protein were calculated and analyzed by Gel-Pro analyzer software version 4.

Total protein was extracted from MCM and MTM cells with RIPA lysates (Epizyme, China) containing protease inhibitors (1:100; Epizyme, China) and nucleases (1:100; Hai-gene, China). The protein concentration of each sample was measured with a BCA Protein Assay Kit (Cwbio, China). After electrophoresis and transfer, the proteins were transferred to a 0.45-μm polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane (Millipore, USA). Then, the membranes were blocked at room temperature (RT) for 15 minutes with a fast blocking solution (1:5; Epizyme, China) and incubated with selected primary antibodies at 4°C overnight. The membranes were washed in Tris-buffered saline containing 0.1% Tween 20 (1X TBST) and incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 hour at RT. Finally, the membranes were washed and imaged using the ChemiDocTM Touch Imaging System (Bio–Rad, 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.
