Pierce bca protein assay kit

Manufactured by Keygen Biotech
Sourced in China

The Pierce BCA Protein Assay Kit is a colorimetric detection and quantification method for determining the total protein concentration in a sample. It utilizes the bicinchoninic acid (BCA) reaction to measure the reduction of copper ions by proteins in an alkaline environment, producing a purple-colored complex that can be measured spectrophotometrically.

Patients’ adipose tissues and lipoma tissues were minced into small pieces and transferred into a Celstir spinner flask (Wheaton) supplemented with Serum-free Dulbecco’s modified eagle medium/f12 (DMEM/F12) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin, respectively. The tissues were cultured at 37 °C and a rotational speed of 100 rpm for 2 days. The debris of tissues and cells were removed by centrifugation (2000g, 30 min). An additional centrifugation in Amicon® Ultra-50 Centrifugal Filter Units with Ultracel-3 membrane (3000Mw cutoff membrane, Millipore) at 5000g for 30 min was applied to concentrate lipoma tissue extract (LTE) and adipose tissue extract (ATE). Then, the ATE and LTE were mixed with the Total Exosome Isolation™ reagent (Life Technologies) at 4 °C overnight and a final ultracentrifugation step was performed at 10,000g for 1 h at 4 °C. The obtained pellet was resuspended in 400 μl of PBS and stored at − 80 °C with known concentration determined by using the Pierce BCA protein assay kit (KeyGEN, China).

The antibodies used were as follows: rabbit-anti-human MARCO (Abcam, MA, USA) as primary antibody and anti-rabbit-IgG (H+L) (CST, MA, US) as secondary antibody.Western blot analyses were performed as below. In brief, total protein was isolated from tissue samples using RIPA buffer (CST, MA, US) with PMSF (GenStar, Beijing, China) and phosphatase inhibitor tablets (CWBIO, Jiangsu, China) and quantified using a Pierce BCA Protein Assay Kit (KeyGEN BioTECH, Jiangsu, China). The total protein samples were loaded and separated on SDS-PAGE gels and transferred to PVDF membranes (Roche, Basel, Switzerland). The membranes were blocked with 5% skim milk and incubated with the indicated primary antibodies overnight at 4°C, which was followed by incubation with the corresponding secondary antibodies for 2 h at room temperature. Signals were visualized by Immobilon Western HRP Substrate (Millipore, MA, USA) and captured by a ChemiDocTM Touch Imaging System (Bio-Rad, MA, USA). GAPDH was used as a loading control.

Colon tissues, cells, and EVs fractions were homogenized using the RIPA buffer (Jiangsu KeyGEN BioTECH, Nanjing, China), phosphatase inhibitor cocktail, and protease inhibitor cocktail (Jiangsu KeyGEN BioTECH, Nanjing, China). Pierce BCA Protein Assay Kit (Jiangsu KeyGEN BioTECH, Nanjing, China) was used to determine the protein concentration. Anti-CD63 (A5271, ABclonal), anti-Alix (12422-1-AP, Proteintech), anti-CD81 (66866-1-Ig, Proteintech), anti-Calnexin (ab22595, Abcam), anti-STING (19851-1-AP, Proteintech), anti-Phospho-STING (Ser366) (85735, Cell Signaling Technology), anti-Phospho-STING (Ser365) (72971, Cell Signaling Technology), anti-IRF3 (4302, Cell Signaling Technology), anti-Phospho-IRF3 (Ser396) (29047, Cell Signaling Technology), anti-NF-kB p65 (A19653, ABclonal), anti-Phospho-NF-kB p65 (Ser536) (3303, Cell Signaling Technology), anti-Beta-Actin (4970, Cell Signaling Technology), anti-GAPDH (AF1186, Beyotime Biotechnology) and secondary antibodies (KGP1201, Jiangsu KeyGEN BioTECH, Nanjing, China) were used for western blot.

Placental Protein Extraction and Western Blot Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Briefly, 10 mg placenta were ground in liquid nitrogen and transferred into EP tubes. Then, radioimmunoprecipitation assay lysate buffer was added to the tissues, which were homogenized on ice using an Ultrasonic Cell Disruptor and then centrifuged at 16 000 rpm for 30 min at 4°C. The protein concentrations were measured using the Pierce BCA Protein Assay Kit (Key-Gen Biotech, Nanjing, China). Next, the membranes were incubated with diluted primary antibody (ANP, 1: 150; Abcam, San Francisco, CA; NPR-A, 1: 200; Abcam, San Francisco, CA).
Subsequently, the membranes were incubated with secondary antibody (goat anti-rabbit, 1: 1,000; Zhongshan Biotechnology, Beijing, China) and then developed using an ECL Western Blotting Detection System. Band intensities were calculated using the AlphaEaseFC FluorChem 8900 software (Alpha Innotech Corporation, San Leandro, CA).

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.
