Western blot analysis was used to detect protein expression in the ischemic tissue, as described by us in previous work21 (link),22 (link). Upon completion of electrophoresis, proteins were transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride membranes, which were incubated with primary antibodies (rabbit polyclonal anti-Bcl-2, rabbit polyclonal anti-BAX antibody, rabbit polyclonal anti-TN-Fα antibody, or rabbit polyclonal anti- IL-1β antibody; Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA) for 24 h at 4°C. Next, membranes were washed with PBS three times for 6 min per wash, and then re-incubated with a secondary antibody (goat anti-rabbit IgG, Santa Cruz, Dallas, TX, USA; goat anti-mouse IgG, Abcam) for 1 h at room temperature. Finally, an enhanced chemiluminescence system was used to detect immunoreactive bands. Western blot images for each antibody, including β-actin, were analyzed using an image analysis program (Image J 1.42, NIH, Bethesda, MD, USA) to represent protein expression in terms of relative image density; mean protein expression from the control group was assigned a value of 1 to serve as a reference.

Detecting Bax Protein in Brain Tissue

In order to detect Bax, a protein associated with apoptosis, the researchers employed the streptavidin-peroxidase method (Hassanen et al. 2022 (link)). The brain sections were first deparaffinized and hydrated, followed by three washes with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and the use of 3% H2O2 to neutralize the natural peroxidase activity. After another rinse with PBS, a blocking buffer consisting of normal low-lethal serum was applied. The sections were then subjected to immunohistochemical staining. They were incubated overnight at 4 ◦C with a diluted solution (1:50) of rabbit polyclonal anti-Bax antibody obtained from Abcam Co, USA. Next, the sections were treated with a secondary antibody and avidin–biotin complex. The stain 3,3′-diaminobenzidine was utilized as a chromogen, and Mayer's hematoxylin was used to counterstain the sections. Finally, the sections were examined under a light microscope.

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.
