Oxidative Stress and Epigenetic Regulators

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were washed with ice-cold PBS and lysed on ice with a protease inhibitor cocktail. Protein concentrations were measured by BCA method. Protein samples were separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and transferred to PVDF membranes. The membranes were probed with NRF2 (1:500), HO1 (1:1000), SOD1 (1:1000), GST (1:1000), DNMT1 (1:500), DNMT3a (1:500), DNMT3b (1:500), MeCP2 (1:500), MBD2 (1:500), GAPDH (1:10000) antibodies (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc., Texas, United States) at 4°C overnight. The bands were visualized after incubation with a chemiluminescent substrate. Quantification of the band density was determined by densitometric analysis.

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.
