Western Blotting Analysis of Hippocampal Proteins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After the behavioral experiment, three mice were randomly selected from each group for Western blotting. The brain tissue of the mice was quickly removed and the hippocampus tissue was separated at low temperature. The treated brain tissue requires extraction of histones at low temperature, followed by grinding and centrifugation of the sample. The protein concentration of the sample is determined from the standard curve and then heated to denature the proteins of the sample. Electrophoresis and membrane transfer are then performed. We use the first antibody to react with the PVDF membrane overnight, put down the second antibody the next day and finally rinse with PBS solution. The gels were then scanned using an automated gel imaging system and analysed for calculation using ImageJ software. Main antibodies and dilution ratio: Anti-Akt (ab81283, Abcam, 1:1000); Anti-beta Amyoid 1-42 (ab201060, Abcam, 1:1000); Anti-IL-1beta (ab9722, Abcam, 1:800); Anti-IL-10 (ab9969, Abcam, 1:800); Anti-PI3K (ab191606, Abcam, 1:1000); Anti-GFAP (BA0056, BOSTER, 1:800); Anti-IBA-1 (PB0517, BOSTER, 1:800); Anti-Beclin1 (ab207612, Abcam, 1:1000); Anti-LC3 (ab192890, Abcam, 1:1000); Anti-p-Akt (ab8805, Abcam, 1:1000); Anti-β-actin (GB12001, Servicebio, 1:2000).

The antibody-protein G beads were then collected by pulse centrifugation (5 sec at 14,000 × g) at 4°C. The antibody-protein G beads were washed with lysis buffer, SDS-sample buffer with dithiothreitol (50 mM) was added, and the samples were boiled for 4 min. The samples were electrophoresed on a 4–12% bis-tris gel followed by transfer to a PVDF membrane.

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.
