Total proteins were extracted from frozen LV tissue and cultured PVFs using RIPA lysis buffer. Proteins were quantified using a BCA Protein Assay Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA). All sample proteins loaded equally (20 μg) were separated by SDS-PAGE and transferred to PVDF membranes. Subsequently, the PVDF membrane was blocked with TBST containing 5% BSA for 1 h and incubated at 4°C overnight with a primary antibody.

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.
