Cells were treated with compound 1 at varying
concentrations for 24 h, and protein lysates were then prepared in RIPA lysis
buffer containing protease inhibitors (Sigma, St Louis, MO, USA). Volumes of
clarified protein lysate containing equal amounts of protein (50
μg) were separated on 10–12% sodium
dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and
electrophoretically (90 min at 100 V) transferred to a Hybond-ECL membrane (GE
Healthcare, Piscataway, NJ, USA). Blots were then blocked for 1 h in 1 ×
TBST (10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, 150 mM NaCl, and 0.05% Tween-20)
containing 5% blocking grade non-fat dry milk (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA,
USA), and then incubated overnight with primary antibody at 4 °C. Blots
were then washed for three times in 1 × TBST and incubated for 2 h at
room temperature with HRP-conjugated goat anti-rabbit or anti-mouse IgG
secondary antibody (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA).
Immunoreactive bands were visualized using an enhanced chemiluminescence
detection system (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL, USA).

Protein Detection in Vaccine Preparations

Protein content of vaccine preparations was quantitated by BCA Protein Assay kit (Pierce, Rockford, IL). Twenty μg of protein extract from whole LVS, LVS-G, LVS-R and HK-LVS bacteria, lysed in 1% SDS, were electrophoresed on a 4–12% Bis-Tris SDS-PAGE gel (Life Technologies) and transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane. Immediately after protein transfer, the membranes were washed with Ponceau S concentrate (Sigma) for 3 minutes. The membranes were then washed with distilled water for 3 minutes, and images of the stained membranes were acquired. Membranes were then blocked with 5% Blocking Grade Non-Fat Dry Milk (Bio-Rad) in Tris-Buffered Saline with 0.1% Tween 20 (TBST). Pooled sera, collected after two or six weeks from mice vaccinated with LVS or heat-killed LVS, or collected after three days after LVS challenge, were used as primary antibodies at a 1:1000 dilution in TBST. A conjugated anti-mouse IgG antibody (Sigma-Aldrich) at a 1:4000 dilution in TBST was used to detected antigen binding antibodies. Blots were developed with BCIP/NBT Phosphatase substrate (Kirkegaard & Perry Laboratories) for 15 minutes, after which the reaction was stopped with water, per the manufacturer’s instructions.

Quantitative Western Blot Analysis of Nrf2 and Related Proteins

The protein was extracted with CelLytic™ NuCLEAR™ Extraction Kit (Sigma) following the manufacturer’s instruction. The Bio-Rad DC Protein Assay (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA) was used to determine protein concentration. Target proteins were measured by western blot analysis with the following antibodies: rabbit antibodies against Nrf2 (1:200 dilution, Abcam), GCLM (1:1000 dilution, abcam), GCLC (1:800 dilution, abcam), and GAPDH (1:5000 dilution, Sigma). Aliquots containing 50μg proteins were heated for 5 min at 55°C and were loaded on NuPAGE 4-12% Bis-Tris gel (Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY), and then transferred to a PVDF membrane (Pall Life Sciences, Ann Arbor, MI). The membrane was blocked in TBS-T (Thermo) containing 5% blocking grade non-fat dry milk (Bio-Rad), and incubated overnight with primary antibodies at 4°C. After washing, the membrane was incubated with HRP-conjugated goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody (Cell signals) at 1:3000 dilution at RT for 2 hours. Immunoreactive bands were visualized using an enhanced chemiluminescence detection system (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL) (8 (link)). Densitometric measurements were done with Image Quant (Molecular Dynamics). GAPDH bands, as a housekeeping protein, were used to normalize the expression of the target proteins.

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.
