The cerebral ischemic cortex was homogenized in RIPA buffer. The homogenized protein was centrifuged at high speed, then the supernatant was extracted and the precipitation was discarded. Then the total protein concentration was determined with the BCA kit. 20 μg total protein samples from cortex were separated using SDS-PAGE and transferred to a PVDF membrane. The membranes were blocked using blocking solution (5% non-fat milk in TBST, pH 7.4) at room temperature for 60 min. Discard blocking solution and incubation with the primary antibody overnight at 4°C.

Membranes were then washed three times with TBST (10 min × 3). Protein expression was examined by using Chemiluminescent HRP Substrate (Millipore) and Cytiva. Densitometric values was quantified with ImageJ and were normalized with respect to β-actin immunoreactivity to correct for any loading and transfer differences among samples.

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.
