SALM3 (1929) guinea pig polyclonal antibodies were generated using a synthetic peptide as immunogen (aa 594–608 of mouse SALM3; CYGYARRLGGAWARR). Peptides mimicking the last 30 aa of mouse SALM1, SALM2, and SALM4 were used to generate guinea pig polyclonal antibodies (2022, 2058, and 2026, respectively). The following antibodies have been described: PSD-95 (1690) (Han et al., 2010 (link)), NGL-3 (2020) (Lee et al., 2014 (link)), SALM3 (1816), and SALM5 (1907) (Mah et al., 2010 (link)). The following antibodies were purchased: α-tubulin, synapsin I (Sigma), synaptophysin, GluA1, GluA2 (Santa Cruz), slitrk1, slitrk3 (Abcam), GluN1 (Invitrogen), GluN2A (Zymed), GluN2B (NeuroMab), PTPσ (17G7.2, mouse, Medimabs), and IL-1RAcP (Millipore). IL1RAPL1 antibody was a kind gift from Dr. Carlo Sala.

After determination of the protein concentration, protein samples were separated by SDS-PAGE and subsequently transferred to PVDF membranes (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA). Membranes were blocked by 5% non-fat milk in TBST, then incubated at 4 °C overnight with the following primary antibodies: EphB2 (1:1000; R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA), GluN1 (1:1000; Invitrogen), GluN2A (1:800; Santa Cruz, Dallas, TX, USA), GluN2B (1:1000; Santa Cruz), P-GluN2B (Y1472) (1:1000; Millipore, Bedford, MA, USA), P-EphB2 (Y594) (1:1000; Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), β-actin (1:2000; Santa Cruz), GAPDH (1:1000) and His-tag (1:1000; Zhongshan Goldenbridge Biotechnology, Beijing, China). After rinses with TBST, membranes were incubated with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies (1:1000; Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology, Haimen, China). Protein bands were visualized with an ECL detection system (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology) and quantified densitometrically with ImageJ software (NIH).

Total RNA was extracted, and samples were processed for real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) by a TaqMan qRT-PCR instrument (CFX384 real-time system, Bio-Rad Laboratories S.r.l.), as previously described (Calabrese et al. 2013) (link) CGTCTGTTCACTCGAGATTCTG.
Protein extraction and western blot analysis.
The protein levels of GluN1, PSD95 CDC42 and SEPT7 were investigated in the crude synaptosomal fraction, extracted from the rats prefrontal cortex as previously reported (Calabrese et al. 2013) (link). 10 µg of proteins was run on 10% SDS-polyacrylamide gels and transferred onto nitrocellulose membranes. Blots were blocked and incubated at room temperature with the primary antibodies (Genetex; GluN1: 1:1000, Invitrogen; PSD95: 1:4000, Cell Signaling; CDC42: 1:1000, Cell Signaling; SEPT7: 1:500) and then for 1 h at room temperature with the corresponding secondary antibody (GluN1: 1:3000, anti-mouse; PSD95:
1:8000, anti-rabbit; CDC42: 1:1000, anti-rabbit; SEPT7: 1:2000, anti-rabbit). Immunocomplexes were visualized using the Western Lightning Plus ECL (PerkinElmer) and Chemidoc MP imaging system (Bio-Rad Laboratories).

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.
