Blots were further incubated with secondary horseradish peroxidase-conjugated antibodies (Cell Signaling) and stained with enhanced chemiluminescence reagent (Amersham). Chemiluminescence was detected on either film or using a ChemiDoc XRS+ System (Bio-Rad) and quantified using either Image J (https://imagej.nih.gov/ij/download.html) or the Bio-Rad Image Lab Software (https://www.bio-rad.com/en-us/product/image-lab-software?ID=KRE6P5E8Z). The primary antibodies used were as follows: β-actin (Abcam, #ab6276, 1:10,000 dilution), HIF-1α (BD Biosciences, #610958, 1:1000 dilution), Hydroxy-HIF-1α (Pro564) (Cell Signaling, #3434, 1:1000 dilution), anti-HA tag (Abcam #ab9110, 1:1000 dilution), HIF-2α (Novus Biological, #NB-100-122, 1:1000 dilution), and PDHK1 (Cell Signaling, #C47H1, 1:1000 dilution).

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.
