After incubating primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C, the membranes were nurtured with corresponding HRP conjugated secondary antibodies (Proteintech Group, Chicago, IL, USA.) The bands were visualized employing ECL Luminous Liquid (EMD Millipore). ImageJ software was used to compute the relative grey level of proteins (NIH). Anti-TRAIL was procured from Santa Cruz Bio (Santa Cruz, CA, USA).

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.
