Pierce 660 reagent

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific

The Pierce 660 reagent is a protein quantification solution designed for determining the concentration of proteins in samples. It operates on the principle of colorimetric detection, providing a rapid and reliable method for measuring protein levels. The reagent can be used with a variety of protein samples and is compatible with common laboratory instruments for absorbance measurement.

S2 cells were lysed in 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.8), 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA (pH 8.0), 1% Triton X-100, 0.01% Igepal, and protease inhibitors (Roche Applied Science). Protein concentration was quantified using Pierce 660 reagent (22660, Thermo Scientific) according to manufacturer’s instructions. Following SDS-PAGE, proteins were detected by immunoblotting with anti-Flag M2 (1:1000, Sigma Aldrich), anti-GFP (1:5000, TP401, Acris) and anti-α-Spectrin (1:1000, RRID: AB_528473) antibodies, followed by incubation with corresponding HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies (Jackson Immuno Research). Chemiluminescent signal was captured using ImageQuant LAS4000 reader (GE Healthcare).

The antibody details (company, catalog number, species, and dilution) are provided in Table 1. Cells were treated with the drugs at the indicated concentrations, washed with PBS, followed by lysis in 1X RIPA buffer (150mM NaCl, 1% NP-40, 0.5% sodium deoxycholate, 0.1% SDS and 100mM Tris, pH 8.0) containing protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche, Indianapolis, IN), 1mM sodium fluoride, 1mM sodium orthovanadate and 1mM PMSF. In the case of PDAC tissue samples homogenization was carried out using an electric homogenizer in RIPA lysis buffer. Protein estimation was performed against a BSA standard using the Pierce 660 reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA). 20μg protein was loaded on a 12% SDS-PAGE gel and western blot analysis was carried out as described previously [19 ].

Western Blot Analysis Protocol

Western blots were performed as described by AbCam (http://www.abcam.com/ps/pdf/protocols/WB-beginner.pdf). In brief, cells were lysed in ice-cold RIPA buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 1 mM EGTA, 1% NP-40, 1% sodium deoxycholate) supplemented with 1 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride and 1 mM sodium fluoride, and total protein amount was measured using a Pierce 660 reagent (Thermo Scientific) with bovine serum albumin as a standard. Proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE, and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes. The membrane was blocked with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) supplemented with 5% bovine serum albumin, and probed with the appropriate primary antibody (rabbit anti-phospho-p42/p44, rabbit anti-p42/p44, rabbit anti-pT11-Histone H3, and rabbit anti-Histone H3 from Cell Signaling; rabbit anti-GAPDH and mouse-anti-Myc from Sigma-Aldrich) overnight at 4°C. After primary antibody incubation, membranes were probed with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG or goat anti-mouse IgG secondary antibodies (Bio-Rad). HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies were then detected using commercial chemiluminescence substrates (Pierce). Chemiluminescence images were acquired using a FluorChem M FM0455 imager.

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.
