Western blot was performed as previously described [70 (link)]. Cells were lysed in an extraction buffer containing 0.5% NP-40, 2 mM phenylmethanesulfonylfluooride (PMSF), 140 mM NaCl, 10 mM Tris (pH 7.0), 0.2 mM leupeptin and 0.05 mM pepstatin A. Equal amounts of protein samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE and transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane (Pall Corporation, Washington, NY, USA). After 1 h blocking with 5% non-fat milk-containing TBST buffer, proteins were recognized by incubation for 2 h with specific primary antibodies, followed by incubation with secondary antibodies conjugated with horse radish peroxidase for another 1 h. An enhanced chemiluminescence detection kit (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA) was used to detect immunoreactivity as per the manufacturer’s instructions. Quantitative data were obtained using a computing densitometer with a scientific imaging system (Biospectrum AC System, UVP, Upland, CA, USA).

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.
