MEF cells were cotransfected with the pRL-null Renilla (Renilla luciferase, internal control), the IFIT1prom-pGL3 firefly luciferase reporter (54 (link)), and the indicated FLAG-tagged IRF9WT or mutant expression plasmid using the TransIT-LT1 transfection reagent (Mirus). At 8 h posttransfection, cells were stimulated for 16 h with 200 U/mL murine IFNβ (PBL Assay Science). Luciferase activities were quantified using the dual luciferase reporter assay kit (Promega). Relative luciferase activities were calculated as the firefly luciferase/Renilla ratio. Protein extracts were subjected to SDS–PAGE electrophoresis and analyzed by immunoblot using the anti-Flag M2 (F1804; Sigma-Aldrich) and anti-actin (A5441; Sigma-Aldrich) antibodies. Immunoreactive bands were visualized using the Western Lightning Chemiluminescence Reagent Plus (Perkin-Elmer Life Sciences) acquired on an ImageQuant LAS 4000mini apparatus (GE Healthcare).

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.
