Ten percent SDS-PAGE was used to separate protein samples (about 80 μg protein), which were then transferred to PVDF membranes (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA). PVDF membranes were then blocked by 5% BSA for 1 h at 37°C. PVDF membranes were cut off in accordance with the molecular weight, and incubated with different primary antibodies (rabbit anti-GAPDH, 1:1000 dilution; mouse anti-RAGE, 1:800; rabbit anti-p-NF-κB P65, 1:800; mouse anti-GFAP, 1:1000; rabbit anti-Iba-1, 1:800; mouse anti-p-JNK, 1:800; rabbit anti-PARP, 1:1000 from Santa Cruz Biotechnology; rabbit anti-COX2, 1:1000; rabbit anti-iNOS, 1:1000 from Cell Signaling Technology) at 4°C overnight. On the second day, PVDF membranes were incubated with HRP-conjugated secondary antibody (anti-mouse and anti-rabbit, 1:2000) for 2 h at 37°C. Protein bands were detected by an ECL western blotting kit using a ChemiDoc-It™ imaging system (UVP, Upland, CA, USA). GAPDH was selected as a control. The gray value was analyzed by Gel-pro 32 (Media Cybernetics, Rockville, MD, 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.
