Pvdf blot membrane

Manufactured by Bio-Rad
Sourced in Switzerland

The PVDF blot membrane is a widely used laboratory tool designed for protein transfer and detection in Western blotting applications. It is a thin, hydrophobic membrane made from polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) material. The PVDF blot membrane serves as a substrate for immobilizing proteins that have been separated by gel electrophoresis, allowing for further analysis and detection.

The total protein was extracted with Extraction Buffer EXB using Qproteome FFPE Tissue Kit following the instructions (Qiagen, San Diego, CA). Briefly, the excised tissues were incubated on ice for 5 min changing to 100°C for 20 min. The tissues were then incubated at 80°C for 2 h with agitation. After centrifugation, the supernatant containing the extracted proteins was transferred to a new Collection Tube and stored at −20°C. 50 μg of each extracted protein was used for PAGE. Proteins were fractionated by electrophoresis using 10% SDS-PAGE and electrophoretically transferred onto a PVDF blot membrane (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA). Subsequent Western blot was performed as previously described [35 (link)].

For protein isolation of FFPE tissue sections, paraffin was first removed from tissue samples as we previously described (Liu et al., 2014 (link)). Tissues samples were further pelleted and washed five times with RIPA buffer for 10 minutes at room temperature. The washed pellets were then suspended with reducing sample buffer quickly and denatured by heating at 100°C for 10 min. Then 50 µg of each cell lysate was used for PAGE. Proteins were fractionated by electrophoresis through 10% SDS-PAGE and electrophoretically transferred onto a PVDF blot membrane (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA). Membranes were blocked with 5% BSA and TBST at room temperature for 2 h and washed three times with TBST. Anti-Ufm1 polyclonal antibodies were diluted according to the company’s recommendation in TBST and incubated with the membranes overnight at 4°C. After washes three times with TBST, the membranes were incubated with the corresponding secondary antibody. Proteins were visualized using the enhanced chemilumines-cence (ECL) detection system.

The collected cells were directly solubilized in sample buffer containing 150 mM Tris-HCl (pH 6.8), 4 % SDS, 5% DTT, 20% glycerol, urea (125 mg/ml) and bromophenol blue. The ladder was Precision Plus Protein™ Dual Color Standards (BioRad). Samples were separated using a 10% SDS gel (50 μg protein per lane), and proteins were transferred to a PVDF blot membrane (BioRad). After blocking, the blot was incubated with the anti-PMCA primary mouse monoclonal antibody 5F10 [41 (link)] (1:2000; Pierce) or anti-GADPH (1:1000, Cell signaling) overnight at 4 °C. Anti-mouse IgG, horseradish peroxidase-linked whole antibody (1:20000; Amersham, Buckinghamshire, UK) or anti-rabbit IgG, horseradish peroxidase-linked whole antibody (1:1000; Amersham, Buckinghamshire, UK) were used as the secondary antibody. Immunoreactive bands were visualized using the enhanced chemiluminescence method (Kalium Technologies, Buenos Aires, Argentina). Digital images were quantified using GelPro Analyzer version 4.0. Protein density was normalized to the GAPDH loading control.

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.
