Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Western blotting was performed to evaluate the effects of D-allose on the expression in BC cells. After 24 h of incubation, the cells (RT112, 253J, and J82) were treated with varying concentrations of D-allose (10, 25, and 50 mM) for 48 h. Both attached and floating cells were harvested and lysed. Samples were run on a 10% Mini-PROTEAN TGX Precast Gel (Bio-Rad Laboratories Inc. Hercules, CA, USA), transferred onto polyvinylidene difluoride membranes, and blocked in a SuperBlock Blocking Buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) for 1 h. Anti-TXNIP (1:1000) or β-actin (1:1000) were used as the primary antibodies to react with the iBind Flex Western System (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Signals were developed using an ECL (enhanced chemiluminescence) kit (Amersham Biosciences, Buckinghamshire, UK).

To determine whether or not altering the capping efficiency impacted the expression of the SINV nonstructural genes, the expression of nsP2 was assessed via Western blotting. Briefly, whole-cell lysates were generated from BHK-21 cells that were infected with either wild-type SINV AR86, one of the above-described nsP1 mutants, or mock infected. At 8 h postinfection, the cells were lysed via the addition of radioimmunoprecipitation assay (RIPA) buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl [pH 7.5]–50 mM NaCl–1% [vol/vol] Nonidet P40 [NP-40]–0.5% [wt/vol] SDS–0.05% [wt/vol] sodium deoxycholate–1 mM EDTA) followed by vigorous vortexing prior to storage at −80°C until further use. Equal amounts of whole-cell lysates were resolved using SDS-PAGE and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes for downstream immunodetection. The resulting blots were probed for anti-SINV nsP2 polyclonal sera (a gift from R.W. Hardy at Indiana University−Bloomington) and anti-actin (clone mAGGEa; ThermoFisher) and probed with the appropriate horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-labeled secondary antibodies using the iBind Flex Western system with HRP detection/blotting reagents (ThermoFisher). Detection of the SINV nsP2 and host actin proteins was accomplished via chemiluminescence with SuperSignal West Pico Plus chemiluminescent substrate (34579; ThermoFisher) and detected by an Azure C200 Imaging Station (C200; Azure Biosystems).

The protein concentration in crude protein was determined with a BCA kit (Solarbio, Beijing, China) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. We then boiled the samples for 10 min in loading dye (125 mM Tris/HCl, 10% SDS, 0.25% BPB, 10% 2-mercaptoethanol, 50% glycerol), and loaded 60 μg of the crude extract onto 12% acrylamide gels for separation by SDS-PAGE. Primary (anti his-tag mouse monoclonal antibody at a concentration of 1:500) and secondary (goat anti-mouse IgG, HRP-conjugated at a concentration of 1:2000) antibodies were used for the Western blotting test via the iBind™Flex Western System (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) at room temperature for 4 h, following the manufacturer’s protocol. After washing with ddH2O solution three times, CDA target bands were visualized by incubating the membranes in ECL reagents with the ChemiDoc XRS Imaging System and the Image Lab 6.0 software (Bio-Rad Lab, Hercules, CA, USA).

hdLECs were washed three times with 1X PBS and 1X RIPA buffer, and 100 X phosphatase inhibitor (Pierce, Thermoscientific) was added. A cell scraper was used to scrape the hdLECs off the 6-well plate. hdLECs were pipetted and submerged in the lysis RIPA solution. The lysate was collected in a 1.5-ml protein LoBind tube and incubated for 15 min in ice on an orbital shaker (Belly button, IBI Scientific) for complete lysis. The lysates were then centrifuged for 20 min at 18,300 RPM at 4℃, and the supernatant was collected in a separate Protein LoBind tube without disturbing the pellet. A bicinchoninic acid assay (BCA assay, Pierce, Thermo Fisher) was performed to calculate protein concentration according to manufacturer’s instructions, and 25 μg of the total protein was used to perform the Western blot. The Invitrogen™ mini gel tank apparatus was used to run the Western blot on a 4%–12% Blot™ Bis Tris Plus polyacrylamide gel. Protein transfer to a PVDF membrane was carried out using an iBlot 2 dry blotting system (Lifesciences, Thermo Fisher) under the P0 module. The iBind Flex Western System (Thermo Fisher Scientific) was used to process the mini blots using an incubation time of > 2.5 h, after which the blots were imaged using a Bio-Rad ChemiDoc imaging system.

Cytosol and nuclear content of STAT3 and its two phosphorylated active forms pSTAT3(Tyr705) and pSTAT3(Ser727), and mitochondrial content of pSTAT3(Ser727) and the Complex I subunit GRIM-19 (gene associated with retinoid-IFN-induced mortality) were determined by immunoblotting analyses. Extracts were heated at 70°C in equal volumes of x4 Protein Sample Loading Buffer. Twenty μg of protein were loaded per lane on a 10% Bis-Tris gel. Proteins were separated electrophoretically and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes. Immunoblotting was performed using the IBind Flex Western System (Thermo Fischer Scientific, Waltham, MA) that applies sequential lateral flow to perform blocking and antibody binding. Loading control proteins were concomitantly probed: β-actin as loading control in cytosol and nuclear extracts; and voltagedependent anion channel-1 (VDAC-1) as loading control in mitochondrial extracts. For all immunoblotting, the Odyssey LI-COR scanner and software (LI-COR Biotechnology, Lincoln, NE) were used for detection and quantitative analysis.

Samples from supernatants of transfected or infected cells were treated either directly or after a 20-fold concentration using a Vivaspin 20 30,000-molecular-weight-cutoff (MWCO) concentrator (Sartorius). Twenty-five microliters of sample was prepared in Laemmli buffer with (reducing condition) or without (nonreducing condition) 5% beta-mercaptoethanol. After electrophoresis on Criterion TGX 4 to 15% stain-free gels (Bio-Rad), the proteins were transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane (Transblot Turbo System). An IBind Flex Western system (Invitrogen) was used for the protein/antibody incubations and washes. Blots were probed either with 2.5 μg/ml of CD80-Fc, CD86-Fc, or CTLA4-Fc or with anti-Flag-HRP at a 1/1,000 dilution. For CD80-Fc, CD86-Fc, and CTLA4-Fc, an anti-human Fc-HRP antibody (Bethyl) at 1/3,000 was used as the conjugated antibody. The 1× iBind Flex Solution was used to block, dilute the antibodies, and wash and wet the iBind Flex Card. Immune complexes were detected using Amersham ECL Prime Western blotting reagents. Chemiluminescence was recorded with a ChemiDOC XRS molecular imager (Bio-Rad).

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.
