Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were lysed in radioimmunoprecipitation assay (RIPA) buffer (50 mM Tris, pH8.0, 150 nM NaCl, 0.1% vol/vol Nonidet P-40, and 0.5% wt/vol deoxycholic acid) containing protease inhibitor mixture. Protein concentration was determined by the DC Protein Assay Kit (Bio-Rad). Antibodies used for Western blot are as follows: PS1-NTF and Nct (from our laboratory), PS1-CTF (MAB5232; Millipore), Aph1a (38-3600; Invitrogen), Pen2 (18189; Abcam), APP (MABN10; Millipore), and HA (18181; Abcam).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HEK293 cells and HEK293 cells stably expressing human APP Swedish mutations (HEK293Swe) were cultured in DMEM (Hyclone) supplemented with 10% FBS (Gibco) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (Gibco), in the absence and presence of 400 µg/mL G418 (Sigma), respectively.
Primary cortical neurons from embryonic day 17 (E17) rat pups were maintained in neurobasal medium supplemented with B27 and 0.8mM glutamine.
Antibodies used in these experiments include: NeuN (mouse mAb, Millipore), Nicastrin (mouse mAb, Abcam), Aph-1a (Invitrogen), Pen-2 (Abcam), Cleaved Notch1 (Val1744, Cell signaling), Anti-Notch1 intracellular domain antibody (rabbit pAb, Abcam), FLAG (mAb, clone M2, Sigma), GluR1 (mAb, Chemicon), GluR2 (pAb, Millipore), NR1 (mAb, BD Biosciences), α-tubulin (mAb, Sigma), β-actin (mAb, Sigma), Myc (9E10, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), Aβ (6E10, Covance); The rabbit polyclonal antibodies against PS1 loop (Thinakaran et al., 1996 (link)) and SNX27 (Balana et al., 2011 (link)) were described previously; The mouse monoclonal antibody (clone 3D5) against BACE1 was described previously (Zhao et al., 2007 (link)); The rabbit polyclonal antibody 369 against the APP C-terminus (Xu et al., 1997 (link)), Anti-Nicastrin (Ru716) and Anti-PS1 NTF antibody (Ab14) was developed in our laboratory.

Western blotting was carried out according to the manufacturer’s instructions and previous studies [30 (link), 31 (link)]. Cerebral cortex and hippocampus extracts were loaded onto 10-16% Tris/tricine SDS gels and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes prior to overnight incubation with one of the following primary antibodies: BACE, BACE1, sAPPβ, PS1, NCT, Aph-1α, Pen-2, p-Ser199, p-Ser202, p-Thr205, p-Thr231, p-Ser396, p-Ser404, HT7, p25, p35, and Cdk5 (purchased from Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA). MAP1, SYP, and PSD95 were obtained from Cell Signaling Technology, Inc. USA. Mouse monoclonal anti-IL-1β, mouse monoclonal anti-MMP-2, mouse monoclonal anti-MMP-9, and goat anti-mouse IgG labeled with biotin were procured from Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc. USA. Rabbit anti-mouse β-actin was also obtained from Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc. USA. The optical densities of the specific bands were achieved by image analysis software (HPIAS 2000, Tongji Qianping Company, Wuhan, China).

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.
