Poinceau
Poinceau is a laboratory equipment used for the detection and visualization of proteins in electrophoresis gels. It is a staining solution that binds to basic amino acid residues, producing a red-pink color. The intensity of the color is proportional to the amount of protein present, allowing for the quantification of protein content.

Western Blot Analysis and FGF2 ELISA
Quantification of FGF2 protein in cell culture supernatants was performed as follows: log-phase cells were washed twice in PBS and cultivated in fresh medium at 1x106 cells per ml and supernatants harvested after 24 h. ELISA was performed using the Human FGF basic Quantikine ELISA Kit (R&D Systems) and an ELISA reader (Thermo Electron, Vantaa, Finland).
Western Blot Protein Detection Protocol
Biotinylation and Streptavidin Isolation
Nuclear fraction was isolated and protein concentrations were determined using a BCA Protein Assay Kit (Pierce). Equal amounts of cellular protein (30 μg) were separated on a 4%–12% gradient gel (Novex) and subsequently transferred to a PVDF membrane (Amersham). Total protein was visualized with Poinceau (Sigma). After blocking the membranes in TBS containing 5% BSA (Sigma), 0.02% Triton X-100 for 1 h, primary antibodies were added: After washing, the appropriate DyLight 800 or 580 fluorescently-conjugated secondary goat antibodies (Thermo Scientific, 1:10 000) were added in block solution for 1 h in room temperature on a rocking table. Antibody binding was detected using the Li-COR Odyssey CLx. Primary antibody (see resource table) incubations were carried out at 4°C overnight. All primary antibodies (resource table) were used (1:1000) for WB applications.
Western Blotting and IL-17F ELISA Protocol
IL17F protein was quantified in cell culture supernatants using the IL-17 Human ELISA kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific). To harvest the supernatants 1 × 106 cells were washed in PBS and cultured in 1 ml fresh medium. After 24 hours supernatants were centrifuged and stored at –20°C. To optimize the range of the kit supernatants were diluted 1:50 and 1:100 in PBS.
Western Blotting and BMP2 ELISA Protocol
The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to quantify BMP2 protein levels in the supernatant of cell cultures. In addition, 2 × 106 cells were cultured in 2 mL of fresh medium in a 24-well plate. After 24 h, 1 of mL medium was harvested and frozen in aliquots. Quantification was performed using the Quantikine ELISA BMP-2 kit (R & D Systems, #DBP200), as described by the company. Two biological replicates were analyzed in triplicate.

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.
