Defatted bsa

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

Defatted Bovine Serum Albumin (Defatted BSA) is a laboratory-grade protein product derived from bovine serum. It has been processed to remove lipids and other impurities, resulting in a highly purified protein preparation. Defatted BSA is commonly used as a stabilizing agent, blocking buffer, and protein standard in various analytical and experimental procedures.

GRP78 Expression in Tunicamycin-Treated L1210 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
L1210 cells were cultivated in the absence or presence of tunicamycin (0.1 μM) for 24 h. Subsequently, the cells were washed three times with PBS, resuspended (5 × 105 cells per mL) in RPMI medium with 5% of defatted BSA (Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), and incubated for 30 min with anti-GRP78 antibody (described in previous chapter) in a humidified atmosphere supplemented with 5% CO2 at 37 °C. After incubation, the cells were washed three times with RPMI medium containing 5% BSA and subsequently left to interact with secondary antibody (Goat anti-Rabbit IgG linked with Alexa Fluor 660, A21074, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Bremen, Germany). The labeled cells were analyzed on BD Accuri C6 flow cytometer.

Cell homogenates were prepared in 20 mM HEPES-KOH, pH 7.2, 25 mM KCl, 250 mM sucrose, and 2 mM MgCl 2 containing a protease inhibitor mixture. Protein was determined using the BCA reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Samples were incubated with 15 µM NBD-sphinganine (Avanti Polar Lipids), 20 µM defatted BSA (Sigma-Aldrich), and 50 µM fatty acyl-CoA (Avanti Polar Lipids) in a 20 µl reaction volume. CerS (40 µg protein, 25 min reaction time) was assayed using C24.1-CoA and Cer5/6 (5 µg protein, 5 min reaction time) assayed using C16-CoA. Reactions were terminated by chloroform/methanol (1:2, v/v) and lipids extracted. Lipids were dried under N 2 , resuspended in chloroform/methanol (9:1, v/v), and separated by TLC (Merck) using chloroform/methanol, 2M NH 4 OH (40:10:1, v/v/v) as the developing solvent. NBD-labeled lipids were visualized using an Amersham Typhoon5 imager and quantified by ImageQuantTL (GE Healthcare, Chalfont St Giles, UK). All solvents were of analytical grade and were purchased from Bio-Lab (Jerusalem, Israel).

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.
