Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In order to prepare the protein sample, the frozen jejunum tissue was lysed using tissue protein lysis buffer, and the protein concentration was determined according to the instructions of the bicinchoninic acid (BCA) protein quantitative kit (Sun Bio, Beijing, China). Sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gels (10–12%) were configured according to the weight of detected proteins. Fifty micrograms of protein in each sample was extracted to perform electrophoresis, transferred to nitrocellulose filter membranes, then was incubated overnight at 4°C with primary antibodies against occludin (1:1,000, ab216327), ZO-1 (1:1,000, ab96587), Rho (1:1,000, ab40673), ROCK1 (1:2,000, ab45171), and β-actin (1:2,000) (all from Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA). After being washed three times, the membranes were incubated with HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc. USA) for 2 h at 37°C. Then the membranes were reacted using enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) solution (Millipore, Corporation, Billerica, MA, USA), and then were scanned (Konica Minolta Medical Imaging, Inc., Wayne, NJ, USA). The expression of protein was quantitatively analyzed using target protein/β-actin with Adobe Photoshop (Adobe, Mountain View, CA, USA) and Lab Works (UVP, Upland, CA, USA) software.

Formalin-fixed, paraffin wax-embedded blocks from each case were selected for immunohistochemical studies using the antibodies against ROCK1 and ROCK2. Hematoxylin and eosin-stained lymph node tissue slides were used for immunohistochemistry. Control tissue sections were made from the lymph node biopsies of the healthy subjects.

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.
