NuPAGE-Novex 10% Bis-Tris (MOPS buffer, Life Technologies) and NuPAGE-Novex 3–8% Tris-Acetate gels (Life Technologies) were run according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Proteins were transferred to 0.2 μM nitrocellulose membranes (GE Healthcare) using semi-dry transfer in transfer buffer (Life Technologies, NP00061) with 10% methanol. Membranes were blocked in 5% skimmed milk in PBS-Tween (PBST; 0.05% Tween 20 [Sigma-Aldrich, P7949] in PBS) then incubated overnight at 4 °C in primary antibody diluted in 2% bovine serum albumin (BSA; Sigma-Aldrich, A7906) in PBST. After washes with PBST, the membranes were incubated with anti-mouse or anti-rabbit horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated secondary antibodies (1:5000, DAKO, P0447 and P0448 respectively) at room temperature for 1 h. The membranes were washed with PBST and developed by enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL; GE and Millipore).

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.
