Proteins separated by nonreducing or reducing SDS–PAGE were blotted onto a PVDF membrane (Millipore), blocked with 2% Tween‐20, and equilibrated in 50 mM Tris–HCl, 500 mM NaCl, 0.1% Tween‐20, pH 9.0 (TST). The blots were incubated overnight at room temperature with an antiserum raised against the N‐terminal laminin G‐like module of PAPP‐A2 diluted 1:10,000 in TST containing 0.5% fetal bovine serum (Winn et al, 2009). The blots were incubated for 1 h at room temperature with polyclonal swine anti‐rabbit IgG‐HRP (DAKO, P0217) diluted 1:2,000 in TST containing 0.5% fetal bovine serum. All washing between the steps was done with TST. The blots were developed using enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL Prime, GE Healthcare), and images were captured and analyzed using an ImageQuant LAS 4000 instrument (GE Healthcare). For quantification of mutant PAPP‐A2 (A1033V), a standard curve was generated based on serial dilutions of wild‐type PAPP‐A2 of known concentration.

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.
