Polyvinylidene difluoride transfer membrane and quantification bca assay
Polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) transfer membrane is a type of membrane used in Western blotting techniques to transfer proteins from a gel to a solid support for further analysis. The BCA (Bicinchoninic Acid) assay is a colorimetric detection and quantification method used to determine the total protein concentration in a sample.
2 protocols using polyvinylidene difluoride transfer membrane and quantification bca assay
Western Blot Analysis of Autophagy Markers
Evaluating Cell Metabolism and Autophagy
Western blot analyzes hMSCs were lysed with RIPA buffer and 12 μg of protein samples was loaded. SDS-PAGE (12% Bis-Tris gel, Invitrogen, CA, USA), Polyvinylidene difluoride transfer membrane and quantification BCA assay (Thermo Scientific, MA, USA) were used. Membranes were blocked in 5% milk for 1 h at room temperature and probed with the primary antibodies (anti-LC3B, anti-p62/SQSTM1 purchased from Sigma-Aldrich) (1:1000) overnight at 4 • C, followed by secondary antibodies (1:5000) for 1 h at RT. Bands were visualized using an enhanced chemiluminescence kit (SuperSignal™ West Pico PLUS, Thermo Scientific).
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.
