The protein was extracted using 1X RIPA extraction buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific) supplemented with protease inhibitor cocktail (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (Thermo Fisher Scientific). The protein concentration was measured using a Pierce™ BCA Protein Assay Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific). The cell protein was loaded into NuPAGE™ 4–12% Bis-Tris Protein Gels (Invitrogen) and resolved in the PVDF membrane (BioRad) using the Trans-Blot® Turbo™ transfer system (BioRad). The membranes were blocked with 5% nonfat dry milk or 5% BSA in TBST for 1 hour at RT. Membranes were then incubated overnight at 4°C with primary antibodies. After washing with TBST three times, the membranes were incubated with donkey anti-mouse antibody or swine anti-rabbit antibody conjugated to horseradish peroxidase secondary for 1 hour at RT. The Super Signal West Pico Chemiluminescent Substrate Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific) was used, and the membranes were visualized using ChemiDoc imaging systems (BioRad).

Anti-Flag M2 mAb (F1804, Sigma-Aldrich) were used at the manufacturer's recommended dilutions to detect 3 × Flag-tagged pICP27 (UL54). For protein loading controls, anti-GAPDH (GA1R; Thermo Scientific) and anti-β-Actin (ACTNO5; Abcam) mAb were used at their recommended dilutions. Secondary anti-mouse or rabbit IgG-peroxidase conjugate was purchased from GE Healthcare (Piscataway, NJ, USA). The SuperSignal West Pico Chemiluminescent Substrate kit from Thermo Fischer Scientific (Rockford, IL, USA) was used to detect antigens utilizing the manufacturer's instructions. Images were obtained using a FluorChem R imaging system (ProteinSimple, CA, USA) in 8-bit format. Protein bands were quantified using ImageJ software (version 1.6) for densitometric analysis by comparing the relative ratios of viral protein to GAPDH using the technique described on the ImageJ website (https://imagej.nih.gov/ij/docs/).

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.
