Biotin-labeled Protein Detection by Western Blotting

Samples were separated by SDS-PAGE as above. Protein
bands were transferred to a 0.2 μm polyvinylidene difluoride
membrane (Bio-Rad) by electroblotting at a constant current of 1.3
A for 7 min on Trans-Blot Turbo (Bio-Rad). After transfer, biotin-labeled
proteins were detected using Cy3–streptavidin conjugate. Blots
were blocked against nonspecific reactions by soaking in Bullet Blocking
One for Western Blotting (Nacalai Tesque, Inc.) (50 mL/gel) at room
temperature for 30 min. The blots were incubated with Cy3–streptavidin
(Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories, Inc.) (1.0 mg/mL, 10 μL/gel)
in TBS-T buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, 150 mM NaCl, 0.05% Tween 20, pH 7.6)
(50 mL) at room temperature for 1 h on a shaker. The blots were then
washed with TBS-T (50 mL) at room temperature for 5 min. This washing
procedure was repeated three times. Fluorescent gel images were acquired
on a Typhoon 9400 scanner (Amersham Biosciences/GE Healthcare) using
a 532 nm laser and an emission filter of 570 nm BP20.

Tissue samples were sonicated in RIPA buffer (150 mM NaCl, 1% Triton X-100, 0.1% SDS, 0.5% Na deoxycholate, 50 mM Tris), and total protein was determined using BCA protein assays (Thermo-Scientific, Waltham, MA). Experiments were performed on the XCell II Blot Module (Invitrogen). From each sample, 20 μg of protein was loaded into a lane on a NuPage 4–12% Bis-Tris gel (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA), transferred to 0.2-μm polyvinylidene difluoride membrane (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA), and processed with a blocking solution of 3% BSA and 5% nonfat dry milk in 1 × tris-buffered saline and Tween-20 (TBST). Rabbit anti-Cx36 (0.5 μl/ml; Invitrogen), rabbit anti-Cx43 (0.2 μl/ml; Invitrogen), and mouse anti-tubulin (1:10,000; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) were used as primary antibodies, and were visualized with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated anti-rabbit antibody (1:10,000; Invitrogen) or anti-mouse IgG antibody (1:10,000; Sigma-Aldrich). Signals were enhanced using enhanced chemiluminescence detection reagents (Thermo-Scientific) and detected on a BioSpectrum imaging system (UVP, Upland, CA). Densities were quantified using VisionWorks (UVP) and normalized relative to tubulin.

Tendon Cell Protein Isolation and Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Tendon-derived cells were treated with 1 mM sodium orthovanadate (Sigma-Aldrich) for phosphatase inhibition and then scraped in a cell lysis buffer that contains 0.5 mM sodium orthovanadate, 32 mM Tris base (Fisher Scientific), 50 mM (5%) glycerol (Sigma-Aldrich), 34.7 mM (1%) sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS; Fisher Scientific) and 0.5% Protease Inhibitor Cocktail Set III (Merck Millipore). Protein separation was performed by electrophoresis by loading approximately 2.5 μg of protein per well to 10% polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis gels (BioRad). The amounts of the proteins loaded were measured by a bicinchoninic acid assay. Proteins were transferred from gels on to a 0.2 μm polyvinylidene difluoride membrane (BioRad) using a Western blot transfer system (BioRad). Molecular weight was indicated by Precision Plus Protein Dual Color Standards (BioRad). The details of the antibodies used and their working dilutions are shown in Supplementary Table 2. GAPDH was used as the endogenous housekeeper. Anti-rabbit IgG antibody was used as the secondary antibody. Proteins were detected by enhanced chemiluminescence (GE Healthcare Life Sciences) and visualised using Alliance 6.7 system and NineAlliance 4.7 17.00 (uvitec).

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.
