Poinceau

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in Germany

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 blots were generated by the semi-dry method. Protein lysates from cell lines were prepared using SIGMAFast protease inhibitor cocktail (Sigma, Taufkirchen, Germany). Proteins were transferred onto nitrocellulose membranes (Bio-Rad, München, Germany) and blocked with 5% dry milk powder dissolved in PBS. The following antibodies were used: alpha-Tubulin (Sigma, Taufkirchen, Germany), HOXB5 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Heidelberg, Germany), and BCL6 (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA). For loading control, blots were reversibly stained with Poinceau (Sigma, Taufkirchen, Germany) and detection of alpha-Tubulin (TUBA) performed thereafter. Secondary antibodies were linked to peroxidase for detection by Western Lightning ECL (Perkin Elmer, Waltham, MA, USA). Documentation was performed using the digital system ChemoStar Imager (INTAS, Göttingen, Germany).

Confluent cells grown on poly-d-lysine (Sigma-Aldrich) coated 10cm plates were labeled with 0.13 mg/mL sulfo-NHS-SS- biotin in PBS, during 1h on rocking table in +4C, after two washes of PBS cells were scraped off and sonicated in 500 μL PBS (supplemented with protease inhibitors). To 450ul 50ul of streptavidin coated beads (New England Biolabs inc.) was added, and 50 μL was analyzed as whole cell lysate. Beads and protein suspension was incubated retaining in +4C overnight, to be analyzed with western blot.
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.

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.
