To obtain total cell lysate, cells were collected by trypsinization, washed twice with ice‐cold 1× PBS and lysed for 1 h on ice by adding cell lysis buffer. Protein concentration was measured using the BCA Protein Assay kit according to the manufacturer's instructions. Total lysates were loaded on SDS‐PAGE, and proteins were separated using SDS running buffer. A PageRuler prestained protein ladder was loaded on the same gel as a standard for protein separation and determination of molecular weight. Proteins were transferred onto polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes. After blocking, membranes were incubated overnight with primary antibodies against PAX2 (1 : 400, Santa Cruz, USA), CD55 (1 : 100, Santa Cruz, USA), C3 (1 : 100, Santa Cruz, USA), CFH (1 : 200, Bioss antibodies, China). Subsequently, membranes were washed three times in 1× TBST for 10 min, then incubated with corresponding horseradish peroxidase (HRP)‐conjugated isotype‐specific secondary antibody diluted in 5% non‐fat milk, for 1 h at room temperature. After four washes with 1× TBST, blots were visualized with an ECL + plus™ western blotting system (Amersham, USA) and films. GAPDH (1 : 5000, Bioss antibodies, China) was used as an internal control. The image was analyzed with the quantity ONE system.

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.
