Optic Nerve Protein Expression Analysis

Thirty-six rats (NG: 18 rats; HG: 18 rats) were euthanatized 1 week after intravitreal administrations for immunoblot analysis. Four mm optic nerves from immediately behind the eye ball were homogenized in protein extraction buffer. Since the optic nerve pieces were small, each sample included two optic nerves. Equal amount of proteins (3 µg) determined by the Bradford assay was applied and loaded. Then, samples were transferred to PVDF membranes. After blocking, membranes were exposed with the primary antibodies: Anti-Beclin-1 antibody for overnight (1:200; Medical & Biological Laboratories, Co., Ltd., Nagoya, Japan) or anti-β-actin antibody for 2 h (1:500; Sigma-Aldrich; Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany). After three times washing, membranes were reacted with the secondary antibodies: Rabbit IgG or mouse IgG. Immunoblots were evaluated with the Amersham ECL detection system (GE Healthcare Life Sciences, Little Chalfont, UK).

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.
