Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Proteins were extracted from colon tissues of around 1.5 cm, adjusted using the Bradford method and Western Blotted as previously described15 (link). Specific primary antibodies were: S1PR3 (Item No. 10006373, Cayman Chemical, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA, 1:1000); TLR4 (sc-293072, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA, 1:1000); p-p38 (sc-17852R, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, 1:1000); iNOS (ab15323, Abcam, Cambridge, UK, 1:1000); ZO-1 (ab216880, Abcam, 1:1000). The blots were cut prior to hybridization with antibodies due to the limited amount of protein extract available. Blots were imaged using an Odyssey Fc System (Li-COR Biosciences, Lincoln, NE, USA) and quantified by densitometry using ImageJ software (NIH, Bethesda, MD, USA). All densitometries were obtained in arbitrary units of optical density and expressed as a percentage of the control group (100%). Several exposition times were analyzed to ensure the linearity of the band intensities. Loading control (blots shown in the respective figures) was β-actin (A5441, MilliporeSigma). All full-length data of western blots are included in Supplementary Information (see Supplementary Figs. S4, S5, S6, S7, S8 online).

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.
