Proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE (NuPAGE 4–12% Bis-Tris; Invitrogen) and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes using iBlot Gel Transfer Stacks (Invitrogen). Membranes were blocked in 5% skimmed milk in TBST (0.05 M Tris-base, 0.5 M NaCl supplemented with 0.1% Tween-20), and incubated with primary antibodies diluted in blocking buffer overnight. Membranes were washed three times in 0.5% skimmed milk in TBST and incubated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated secondary antibodies. Following a final washing step, proteins were visualized with the ECL plus Western blotting detection system (GE Healthcare) using a Fuji film LAS4000 system. See Supplementary Figs. 10 and 11 for uncropped Western blot images.

Total cell extracts were prepared from monocytes of aSAH patients at day 1 (n = 6) and NC (n = 3) using RIPA buffer supplemented with protease and phosphatase inhibitors (ThermoFisher Scientific). Equal amounts of protein from each sample were separated by SDS-PAGE (sodium dodecyl-sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) and blotted onto iBlot Gel Transfer Stacks (Invitrogen). These nitrocellulose membranes were then probed with anti-NLRP3 mouse mAb (119–14,885; Ray Biotech), anti-caspase-1 mouse mAb (MAB6215; R&D Systems), and anti-β actin antibody (Abcam, UK) to control for protein loading, followed by a horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated secondary anti-mouse (Cell Signaling, UK). Antibody binding was detected by enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) (Amersham-Pharmacia-Biotech, UK).

Protein Separation and Immunodetection

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Protein separation by SDS-PAGE was carried out using Mini Protean TGX gels (Bio-Rad) in Tris/glycine/SDS running buffer (Bio-Rad) at 250 V. The gels were stained with Coomassie Brilliant Blue staining solution with Precision Plus Protein (All Blue) as the prestained ladder (Bio-Rad). The iBlot Dry Blotting System (Invitrogen) with nitrocellulose membranes was used for immobilizing proteins on nitrocellulose membranes (iBlot Gel Transfer Stacks, nitrocellulose mini). Enhanced chemiluminescence was performed using the Bio-Rad ChemiDoc XRS+ Imaging System. The blotted membrane was incubated with Clarity Western ECL Substrate, applying an exposure time between 1 and 20 s (depending on sample concentration). Note that non-covalently bound heme is lost during gel electrophoresis. The ECL detection reagent relies on the hydrogen peroxide-mediated oxidation of luminol to the light-emitting 3-aminophthalate in the presence of a catalyst like heme.

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.
