Nitrocellulose membranes

Manufactured by BD
Sourced in United States

Nitrocellulose membranes are porous sheets made from nitrocellulose material. They are used as a support medium in various laboratory techniques, such as Western blotting, dot blotting, and Northern blotting, to immobilize and transfer biomolecules, such as proteins and nucleic acids, for further analysis and detection.

Whole protein lysates were prepared using the PRO-PREP protein extraction solution (Intron Biotechnology, Seongnam, Korea), and mitochondrial and cytoplasmic fractions were performed with a mitochondria isolation kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). Equal amounts of proteins were separated by electrophoresis on 8–12% SDS-PAGE gels and transferred onto nitrocellulose membranes (BD Biosciences, San Jose, NJ, USA). The membranes were blocked by incubation in blocking buffer (BD Biosciences) and probed with the following antibodies overnight at 4°C: anti-NeuN, anti-AT8, anti-Tau-5, anti-β-actin (Sigma–Adrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), anti-PSD95, anti-phospho(p)-Tau(T181), anti-p-Tau(S396; Abcam, MA, USA), anti-Drp1, anti-p-Drp1(S616), anti-COXIV, anti-GAPDH, anti-PARP, anti-cleaved caspase-3, p-Tau(S262), anti-CDK5, anti-ERK, anti-p-ERK, anti-GSK3β, anti-p-GSK3β(S9; Cell Signaling, MA, USA), and anti-p35 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). The membranes were washed with TBS with 0.1% Tween-20 (TBST) and incubated with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies (Cell Signaling) for 1 h at room temperature. After washing with TBST, specific binding was detected using a chemiluminescence detection system (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA).

Protein samples of cynomolgus monkey hippocampi were harvested using the PRO-PREP protein extraction solution (Intron Biotechnology, Seongnam, Korea). Equal amounts (15 μg) of protein were separated by electrophoresis on 10~15% SDS-PAGE gels and transferred onto nitrocellulose membranes (BD Biosciences, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA). The membranes were blocked by incubation with blocking buffer (BD Biosciences) and probed with the following antibodies overnight at 4℃: anti-β-actin, anti-GFAP (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), anti-NeuN, anti-synaptophysin, anti-PSD95, anti-phospho(p)-tau(S262), anti-p-tau(T181), and anti-p-tau(S396) (Abcam, MA, USA). Next, the membranes were washed with TBS saline containing 0.1% Tween-20 (TBST) and incubated with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies (Cell Signaling, MA, USA) for 1 h at room temperature. After washing with TBST, the specific binding was detected using a chemiluminescence detection system (Thermo Scientific, MA, USA).

Western Blot Analysis of TNF-α in Hs578T Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
At the indicated times, Hs578T cells were harvested in ice-cold PBS and lysed on ice in a cold preparation of modified radioimmunoprecipitation buffer supplemented with protease inhibitors. Protein concentration was determined using the BCA Protein Assay Kit (Vigorous Biotechonology, Beijing, China), and equal amounts of proteins were analyzed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) (10% acrylamide). Gels were electroblotted onto nitrocellulose membranes (BD Pharmingen). For immunoblot experiments, membranes were blocked for 2 h with 5% nonfat dry milk in Tris-buffered saline containing 0.1% Tween 20, and incubated at 4°C overnight with primary antibody. Detection was performed by peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies using the enhanced chemiluminescence system. Primary antibodies used were GAPDH (Zhong-shan JinQiao, Beijing, China) and TNF-α (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA).

Cell lysates were extracted by adding M-PER Mammalian Protein Extraction Reagent (Thermo Scientific) to the cell cultures and incubating them on ice for 20 min. After calculating the protein concentrations using a BCA protein assay kit (Thermo Scientific), the protein samples (50 µg) were subjected to 12% SDS-PAGE (Bio-Rad Laboratories) and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes (Bio-Rad, Melville, NY, USA). nitrocellulose membranes were blocked in PBS containing 0.05% Tween 20 and 3% nonfat dry milk and then incubated with a mouse monoclonal anti-HIF-1α antibody (BD Biosciences) diluted 1: 500, anti-Bcl-2 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc., Santa Cruz, CA, USA) diluted 1: 1000, anti-VEGF (Abcam) diluted 1: 1000, anti-β-actin antibodies (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) overnight at 4 °C. Following three 15-min washes in TBS-T (Tris-buffered saline, 0.1% Tween 20) with 0.05% Tween 20, blots were incubated with horseradish–peroxidase-conjugated rabbit anti-mouse antibody at a 1:10,000 dilution for 2 h. The membranes were developed using enhanced chemiluminescence reagents (Thermo Scientific), and the density of bands was analyzed by Quantity One 4.6.9 software (Bio-Rad Laboratories). The protein expression levels were normalized to that of β-actin (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc.) levels.

Total protein was prepared from homogenized tissues and cultured cells using RIPA buffer (Solarbio) plus protease inhibitors (Roche, Mannheim, Germany) and quantified by the BCA method (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Monza, Italy). Immunoblots were carried out with the isolated protein as described [14 (link)]. Equal amounts of protein were resolved by electrophoresis on Criterion™ TGX™ precast 10% gels (Bio-Rad), transferred to nitrocellulose membranes (BD Biosciences), and probed with antibodies against B cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2, ab182858, dilution 1:2000), vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA, ab1316, dilution 1:1000), fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2, ab92337, dilution 1:3000), Bcl-2 associated X (Bax, ab182733, dilution 1:2000), TMED5 (ab254795, dilution 1:1000), and β-actin (ab8227, dilution 1:3000) from Abcam (Cambridge, UK). The horseradish peroxidase-conjugated IgG (ab205718, dilution 1:5000, Abcam) was used as the secondary antibody. Chemiluminescence was achieved by the incubation of Clarity ECL substrate (Bio-Rad). Protein blots were scanned and quantified using AIDA software (Raytek, Sheffield, UK).

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.
