Bradford protein assay reagent

Manufactured by Bio-Rad
Sourced in United States, United Kingdom, China, Italy

The Bradford protein assay reagent is a colorimetric assay used to quantify the total protein concentration in a sample. It is based on the binding of the dye Coomassie Brilliant Blue G-250 to proteins, which results in a color change that can be measured spectrophotometrically.

Intracellular ATP Quantification Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cell lines were plated in 6-well plates with a density of 5 × 105 cells per plate. Intracellular ATP was measured using a luciferin/luciferase-based assay (Adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) Bioluminescent Assay Kit, Sigma-Aldrich) following manufacturer's guidelines. A standard curve was generated rather than known concentrations of ATP and used to calculate sample ATP concentrations. Protein concentration was determined using Bradford protein assay reagents (Bio-Rad). The content of ATP was normalized for protein content and expressed as percentage of control.

Liver tissues collected from WT and CF rabbits were homogenized using an electric homogenizer followed by centrifugation at 4°C. The suspension was frozen at −80°C until analysis. Total protein concentration was determined by the Bradford Protein Assay Reagents (Bio-Rad, USA). 40 µg total protein per sample was used for Western blotting. Blotted membranes were incubated overnight at 4°C with the appropriate primary antibodies (Table S2). After washing, the membranes were incubated with the secondary antibody for 2 hours. After three times of wash, the reactive bands were visualized by incubation with enhanced chemiluminescence substrates and exposure to an X-ray film. The signal intensities were determined by Quantity One (Bio-Rad Life Science, Hercules, California, CA, USA).

Cells were lysed with RIPA lysis buffer (GenDEPOT). After protein quantification using Bradford protein assay reagents (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA), equal amounts of protein were loaded into the well of the sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) gel and fractionated. After transfer onto a nitrocellulose membrane (Bio-Rad), membranes were blocked with 5% bovine serum albumin (BSA) in PBS + 0.1% Tween 20 (0.1% PBST) for 1 h at RT. After incubation with primary antibodies at 4 °C overnight, membranes were incubated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated secondary antibodies. The blot was developed by ECL chemiluminescence detection system (Abfrontier, Seoul, Republic of Korea).

4-HNE Protein Adducts Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Protein from frozen striatum and midbrain was extracted with 1 × radioimmunoprecipitation assay buffer (CST, Beverly, MA, USA) with 1 × Calbiochem Protease Inhibitor Cocktail Set I and 1 × Halt* Phosphatase Inhibitor Cocktail (Thermo Scientific). A Tissue Lyser LT (Invitrogen, Pleasanton, CA, USA) with a 5 mm steel bead was used to homogenize tissues at 50 Hz. Tissue lysate was then centrifuged at 13,000 rpm for 15 min at 4°C. Supernatant was saved in a –80°C freezer. Bradford protein assay reagents (Bio-Rad, Irvine, CA, USA) were used to determine protein concentration. Protein (40 μg/lane) was then separated on a 4–12% Criterion sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis gel (Bio-Rad) and transferred on to nitrocellulose membrane. Proteins were detected with antibodies directed specifically to 4-HNE protein adducts (R&D, Minneapolis, MN, USA) and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) (CST), respectively, in the midbrain and striatum of 6- and 18-month-old mice. An appropriate secondary antibody from LiCor (IR800 or IR680) was used corresponding to each primary antibody. Immunoreactive bands were imaged and quantified using Odyssey software (LiCor, Lincoln, NE, USA).

The liver tissue samples and macrophage cells were lysed in radioimmunoprecipitation assay buffer (Millipore, Bedford, MA, USA) for total cell protein or in NE-PER extraction reagent (Thermo) for cytosolic and nuclear proteins. Concentrations of total protein were measured by Bradford protein assay reagents (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA). Equal amount of proteins was separated and then blotted in accordance with a previously described method [20 (link)]. Proteins on the membrane were blocked and then incubated with various primary antibodies followed by secondary antibodies (Table 2). Immunoreactive bands of target protein were detected using enhanced chemiluminescence solution (Bio-Rad). Each detected protein band was normalized by internal control proteins and was quantified using ImageJ software (version 1.53k).

Cells were implanted in 6-well cell culture plates and allowed to grow for 24 h before treatment. Cells were treated with ALA alone or in combination with other chemicals (Ko143, Lap, DFO) in complete RPMI 1640 medium for 4 h. Cell culture medium was collected after treatment and centrifuged (200 g) for 5 min. The supernatants were collected for PpIX measurement to indicate the extracellular PpIX. Cells were rinsed twice with PBS and lysed with the lysis buffer containing 0.1% Triton X-100, 100 μM EDTA and protease inhibitor cocktail in PBS. Cell lysates were centrifuged (3000 g) for 10 min to obtain the supernatants for PpIX measurement to indicate the intracellular PpIX. PpIX fluorescence was measured with Fluoromax-3 fluorescence spectrometer (Horiba JY, Edison, NJ) with the excitation wavelength at 400 ± 2.5 nm. The protein concentration of cell lysate extracts was measured using the Bio-Rad Bradford protein assay reagents. The intracellular and extracellular PpIX was normalized to the amount of protein and reported as nmol PpIX per gram cell protein.

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.
