Each antibody was tested in at least three experimental replicates from independent cultures. Cell lysates were collected from 80% confluence starved cultures in RIPA buffer with proteinase inhibitors (SIGMA). Lysates were cleared by centrifugation and quantified (Pierce BCA protein assay kit) to equal loading. 40 ug of each lysate were loaded with Laemmli buffer and run by 10% acrylamide SDS-PAGE gels and transfer to PVDF membranes. Membranes were saturated for 1 h and antibody-incubated overnight in 5% milk in TBST. HRP secondary antibody and ECL-film exposure was used to detect bands. Antibodies used were: IFT81 (Proteintech 1:1000); CMG or IFT74 (Abcam 1:500); IFT52 (Proteintech 1:1000); IFT88 (Proteintech 1:500); Aceto-Tubulin (SIGMA T6793 1:2000); KIF3A (Sigma 1:2000) Gli3 (R&D 1:200); GAPDH (Cell Signaling 1:1000). HRP secondary antibodies were Cell Signaling (1:1000, anti-mouse and–rabbit) and Santa Cruz (1:3000, anti-goat). FIJI was used to quantify bands following Gel Analysis recommendations from ImageJ and Gassmann et al. (http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/docs/menus/analyze.html#gels)60 (link) and Mann-Whitney test was performed for statistic analysis using Prism software.

Immunofluorescence Localization of Ciliary Proteins

Cells were washed with PBS, fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and 0.2% triton X-100 for 10 minutes at room temperature, washed with PBS, and blocked with 1% BSA in PBS for 1 hour, and then incubated with antibodies against SMO (generous gift from Dr. K Anderson, and purchased from Abcam), IFT52, IFT81, IFT88, IFT140, BBS2, BBS5 (Proteintech) and acetylated α-tubulin (Sigma) overnight at 4 °C. To address localization of the SMO within cilia, cells were first treated with 500 nM SAG (Enzo Life Sciences) in DMSO. Following 3 washes in PBS, cells were incubated with anti-rabbit AF488 and anti-mouse AF594 (InVitrogen Technologies) for 30 minutes at room temperature. Cells were washed 3X in PBS, and mounted with Vectashield containing 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) (Vector Laboratories). Immuno-labeled cells were viewed and imaged using a Leica TCS SPE confocal microscope configured on a DM550 Q upright microscope. Each ciliary antibody was examined in a minimum of three NHK and three ADPKD cell lines.

Antibody Generation for Wdr78, Dnah2, and Plk4 Proteins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Rabbit antibody against mouse Wdr78 or Dnah2 were generated against peptide YLETYRGHKGPVYK or YGKLRDTIEQEIR, respectively, and affinity-purified (Abgent) for immunoblotting and immunofluorescence staining. Rabbit antibody against mouse Wdr78 was raised using bacterially expressed His-Wdr78 (1–420 amino acids) and then affinity-purified using GST-Wdr78 (1–420 amino acids) for IP. Rabbit anti-Plk4 antibody was prepared as described (Zhao et al., 2013 (link)). Commercial mouse monoclonal antibodies used were acetylated tubulin (Sigma, T6793), GST (Wolwo, Mab-GS01), His (Sigma, H1029), Tctex1 (Millipore, MAB1076), DIC74.1 (Millipore, MAB1618), Dnai2 (Abnova, H00064446-M01), and GM130 (BD, 610823). Commercial rabbit antibodies used were Flag (Sigma, F7425), Ift80 (GeneTex, GTX109393), Ift52 (Proteintech, 17534-1-AP), Rsph3 (Proteintech, 17603-1-AP), GFP (Life Technologies, A6455), Wdr63 (GeneTex, GTX45697), Lamin B1 (Proteintech,12987-1-AP), and Gapdh (Proteintech, 10494-1-AP). Secondary antibodies conjugated with peroxidase or Alexa Fluor-488, -546, or -647 were purchased from Life Technologies. Conformation-specific mouse anti-rabbit IgG mAb conjugated with peroxidase was purchased from Cell Signaling Technology (L27A9). Anti-Flag M2 resin and glutathione agarose beads were from Sigma. Recombinant protein G (rProtein G) agarose beads were from Life Technologies.

Immunofluorescent Labeling of Ciliary Proteins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were washed with PBS, then fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde/0.2% triton X-100 in PBS for 10 minutes at room temperature. Cells were washed again with PBS, and blocked with 1% BSA in PBS for 1 hour. Cells were then incubated with antibodies against SMO (Abcam), IFT52, IFT81, IFT88, IFT140, BBS2, BBS5 (Proteintech), ARL13B and INNP5E (Proteintech) and α-tubulin and acetylated α-tubulin (Sigma), and polyglutamylated tubulin (Adipogen) overnight at 4° C. Following 3 washes in PBS, cells were incubated with anti-rabbit AF488 and anti-mouse AF594 (InVitrogen Technologies) for 30 minutes at room temperature. Cells were washed 3X in PBS, and mounted with Vectashield containing 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) (Vector Laboratories).

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.
