Bca concentration detection kit

Manufactured by Beyotime
Sourced in China

The BCA (Bicinchoninic Acid) Protein Concentration Detection Kit is a colorimetric assay designed to determine the total protein concentration in a sample. The kit utilizes the reduction of copper ions (Cu2+) to cuprous ions (Cu+) by proteins in an alkaline medium, and the subsequent chelation of the cuprous ions with bicinchoninic acid, resulting in a purple-colored complex that can be measured spectrophotometrically.

Organoids were incubated with alpelisib, fulvestrant or a combination for 6 days and then washed with cold 1 × PBS. These cells were suspended in RIPA lysis solution (Biyuntian, P0013C) containing 1% protein and phosphorylation inhibitor (Abmole bioscience, M5293) on ice for 30 min. Then, the cells were centrifuged at 13,000 g at 4°C for 15 min and the supernatants were collected. The concentration was detected by the bicinchoninic acid (BCA) concentration detection kit (Biyuntian, P0012). The remaining parts were mixed in 5× loading buffer (Biyuntian, P0015), boiled for 10 min in a metal water bath, and then subjected to sodium dodecyl sulfate‐polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS‐PAGE). After electrophoresis, proteins were transferred onto polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes and incubated against primary antibody for 24 h. Membranes were washed with tris buffer saline‐Tween (TBS‐T) and incubated with a 1:5000 dilution of secondary antibody for 2 h. Protein bands were then visualized by Ultra Luminol/Enhancer Reagent (New Cell & Molecular, China). The following antibodies were used: PI3K‐110α (Abcam, ab1678, 1:500), p‐AKT (CST, 4060S, 1:1000), AKT (CST, 4691S, 1:1000), p‐mTOR (CST, 5536S, 1:1000), mTOR (CST, 2983S, 1:1000), p‐S6 (CST, 4857S, 1:1000), ER (CST, 13258S, 1:500) and GAPDH (Proteintech, 60,004‐1‐Ig, 1:10000).

Western Blot Analysis of Signaling Proteins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were washed with pre-cooled 1× PBS and collected in 100 µL lysis buffer containing 1% PMSF (Biyuntian, China) at 4°C for 15 mins. The protein concentration in the cell lysate was measured using the BCA concentration detection kit (Biyuntian, China). Equal amounts of total proteins were resolved by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis and transferred to PVDF membranes. The immunoblot was blocked with 5% nonfat milk in Tris-buffered saline containing 0.1% Tween 20 (TBST), incubated with the primary antibody at 4°C overnight. After washing in TBST three times, blots were incubated with the corresponding HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies at room temperature for 1 h, followed by three washes with TBST. Antibodies for p-IRF3 (4947S), IRF3 (1190S), Bax (2772S) and GAPDH (5174S) were purchased from Cell Signaling Technology and antibodies for Bcl2 (ab32124) were obtained from Abcam company. Protein bands were detected by Immobilon Western Chemiluminescent HRP Substrate (Millipore Corporation, USA) and visualized using the Chemi DocTM Touch Imaging System (Bio-Rad).

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.
