A549 cells were harvested 24–60 h after cytokine stimulation depending on the parameters of the experiment. After washing with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), cells were directly lysed in 2 × sodium dodecyl sulfate(SDS) sample buffer without bromophenol blue dye (100 mM Tris-HCl, pH 6.8, 4% SDS, 20% glycerol, 2% β-mercaptoethanol, 25 mM ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)). Protein concentration was determined using a protein quantification assay kit (Macherey-Nagel, Duren, Germany). Equal amounts of protein were separated by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and then transferred onto nitrocellulose membranes. After blocking with 2% ECL advance blocking reagent™ (GE Healthcare, NJ, USA) in PBS containing 0.1% Tween 20 (polyoxyethelenesorbitan monolaurate), the membranes were incubated overnight with primary antibodies at 4 °C. After washing and incubation with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated anti-rabbit or anti-mouse IgG, the antigen-antibody complexes were detected using chemiluminescence (ECL select detection system™, GE Healthcare) and then visualized using an Imagequant Las4000 system™ (Bio-Rad, CA, USA).

Cells were lysed by incubation in RIPA buffer (150 mM NaCl, 1% Triton X-100, 0.5% sodium deoxycholate, 0.1% SDS, 50 mM Tris–HCl (pH 8.0) supplemented with Protease Inhibitor Cocktail (Bimake) and Phosphatase Inhibitor Cocktail (Bimake) for 30 min on ice. Next, the cell extracts were sonicated with a VirSonic 100 ultrasonic cell disrupter and stored at −70°C. The protein concentration was measured by the Bradford assay. Aliquots of each sample were separated by sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gelelectrophoresis and blotted onto polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes (Amersham/GE Healthcare). The membranes were blocked for 1 h in 2% ECL Advance blocking reagent (GE Healthcare) or 2% bovine serum albumin (BSA) (Sigma) in PBS containing 0.1% Tween 20 (PBS-T) followed by incubation overnight at 4°C with a primary antibody diluted in PBS-T containing 2% blocking reagent or 2% BSA. After three washes with PBS-T, the membranes were incubated for 1 h with the secondary antibodies (horseradish peroxidase-conjugated anti-rabbit or anti-mouse IgG) in PBS-T containing 2% blocking agent or 2% BSA. The immunoblots were visualized using a Pierce ECL plus western blotting substrate.

S. elongatus whole-cell extracts were prepared as described previously (22 (link)), with minor modifications. Cells were disrupted using a tissue lyser (Qiagen) with zirconium beads (0.1 mm; Biospec Products) for two cycles of 30 s at a frequency of 30 Hz. After centrifugation, the supernatants were used to determine protein concentration by the BCA method using bovine serum albumin (BSA) as a standard. Next, 30 µg of total protein was separated in a Bis-Tris NuPAGE gel and transferred to a 0.45-μm polyvinyl fluoride (PVDF) membrane using a transfer apparatus according to the manufacturer’s protocols (Invitrogen). After incubation with blocking solution (TBS-T; 20 mM Tris-Cl, 150 mM NaCl, 0.02% [vol/vol] Tween-20, pH 7.6 supplemented with 2% [wt/vol] ECL Advance blocking reagent; GE Healthcare) for 1 h, the membrane was washed once, and incubated with mouse monoclonal anti-FLAG M2-peroxidase (HRP) antibody (Sigma; 1:1000). Membranes were washed three times for 5 min in TBS-T then developed with the SuperSignal West Dura (Thermo Scientific) ECL system and imaged using a Versa-Doc Imaging system (Bio-Rad).

Cells were collected and either snap frozen in liquid nitrogen or immediately lysed using 2 × Laemmli buffer. Protein amounts were normalized using known concentrations of BSA and protein absorbance was measured using Cary 60 Spectrophotometer technology. SDS-gels were run at 15–18 mA and proteins were either wet-blotted overnight (30 V, 4 °C) or for 2 h (100 V, 4 °C) on Hybond ECL transfer membrane (GE Healthcare). Membranes were blocked in 2% ECL Advance Blocking Reagent (GE Healthcare) in 0.1% TBST (1 × TBS supplemented with 0.1% Tween 20) for at least 30 min and incubated with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C or at room temperature for 4 h in blocking solution and secondary antibodies were added for 1 h at room temperature (in blocking solution). Membranes were washed three times with 0.1% TBST, 10' each, after primary and secondary antibody incubations and detected with ECL detection reagent (GE healthcare). Differences in protein levels were normalized against the loading control and the signal intensity was quantified using ImageJ. For complete, uncropped blots with size markers, see Supplementary Fig. 8.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To examine the localization of NADPH oxidase mRNAs in seeds, we performed tissue printing according to the method of Nonogaki et al. [40 (link)]. After being soaked for 24 h in water, seeds were longitudinally sliced in two with a razor blade. The cut surfaces were pressed onto a Hybond-N+ membrane for 15 s. The membrane was cross-linked under UV light and hybridized with RNA probes (both sense and antisense). The RNA probes were prepared from PCR products by using NADPH oxidase common primers [9 ] in a digoxigenin (DIG) labeling kit (Roche Diagnostics). The membrane was prehybridized at 65°C for 1 h in 0.3 M phosphate buffer containing 7% SDS, and then hybridized by incubation in the same buffer with DIG-labeled probes at 65°C for over 15 h. The membrane was then washed in 2× SSC containing 0.1% SDS (15 min), and then in 0.1× SSC containing 0.1% SDS (15 min) at 70°C. It was then blocked with ECL Advance blocking reagent (GE Healthcare) for 1 h and incubated with alkaline phosphatase—conjugated anti-DIG antibody for 1 h at 37°C. Signals were colorimetrically detected by using NBT/BCIP solution (Roche Diagnostics).

The overnight coating of Costar 96 Well EIA/RIA plates (Corning) was carried out at 4 °C with 100 µL of 4 µg/mL RBD (RayBiotech, or BSA (used as control) in Coating buffer (15 mM Na2CO3, 35 mM NaHCO3, pH 9.8). After 4 washes with 300 µL of PBS, the plate was blocked with 200 µl of a 2% (w/v) ECL Advance Blocking Reagent (GE Healthcare) solution in PBS-T (PBS supplemented with 0.1% (v/v) Tween-20) for 2 h at RT. The plate was washed 4 times with PBS, and then, starting at 2 µg of the purified antibody per well (100 µl), 1:5 serial dilutions in blocking solution were incubated for 1 h 30 min at RT. After 4 washing steps with PBS-T (PBS buffer supplemented with 0.05% Tween-20), 1:2000 HRP-labelled rabbit anti-human IgG (Sigma-Aldrich, #A8792) in blocking solution was added. After 1 h, the plate was washed with PBS and the substrate o-phenylenediamine dihydrochloride SIGMAFAST™ OPD tablet (Sigma-Aldrich, #P9187) was added (following manufacturer's instructions). Reactions were stopped with 50 µL 3 M HCl per well and absorbance was measured at 492 nm. The endpoint titer was determined as the last concentration of each purified antibody showing an absorbance value higher than the value defined as cutoff (mean blank + 3SD). Blank is defined as the values from each ELISA test against BSA (Zrein et al., 1986; Armbruster and Pry, 2008) .

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.
