Laemmli buffer

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States, Italy, United Kingdom

Laemmli buffer is a commonly used buffer solution in biochemistry and molecular biology laboratories. Its core function is to prepare protein samples for sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) analysis. The buffer contains SDS, which denatures proteins and gives them a uniform negative charge, and reducing agents that break disulfide bonds, allowing for the separation of proteins by their molecular weight.

Extraction of proteins was realized in RIPA buffer (#89900; Thermo Fisher Scientific) associated with phosphatase and protease inhibitors (#88669; Thermo Fisher Scientific). Protein content was measured by Bio-rad laboratory DCTM Protein Assay reagent A, B and S (#500-0113, #500-0114 and #500-0115). A minimum of 15 µg of protein was solved in Laemmli buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific), denaturated at 100°C and separated by electrophoresis using 4%–12% Bis-Tris gels (Thermo Fisher Scientific) in MES buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Then, proteins were transferred to nitrocellulose membrane (Merck Millipore IPVH00010) in transfer buffer (25 mM Tris; 190 mM glycine; 20% methanol in H2O) at 200 mA for 1.5 hour. Membranes were washed in Tris-buffered saline with Tween20 buffer (TBST; 20 mM Tris, pH 7.5 150 mM NaCl 0.1% Tween 20 in H2O) and treated with blocking buffer (5% bovine serum albumin (BSA) in TBST) for 1 hour. Membranes were exposed to primary antibody diluted in 5% BSA in TBST overnight at 4°C. The day after membranes were washed with TBST and incubated with appropriate horseradish peroxidase-coupled secondary antibody (Southern Biotech, Birmingham, Alabama, USA) for 1 hour at room temperature. Then proteins were revealed with ECL (GE Healthcare, Chicago, Illinois, USA). β-actin (1:10,000) was used to verify equal protein loading.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
MGC lysates and tissue homogenates were prepared in radioimmunoprecipitation (RIPA) buffer (Cell Biolabs, Inc., San Diego, CA, USA) containing protease and phosphatase inhibitors (Sigma-Aldrich). Equal amounts of protein (20–40 µg per sample) were denatured in Laemmli buffer (Thermo Scientific), heated to 100 °C for 10 min, and then loaded in a pre-cast 4–15% sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel (SDS-PAGE) (Bio-Rad) for electrophoresis. Proteins were separated at 100–120 V and transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane, and the membrane was blocked in 5% milk in TBST for 2–3 h at room temperature. After blocking, the membrane was incubated with anti-IL6Rα antibody (MA5-29721, Invitrogen, 1:500) at 4 °C overnight. The membrane was washed 3 times in TBST and then incubated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated anti-rabbit secondary antibody (31460, Invitrogen) for ~ 2 h at room temperature. The membrane was washed and then developed with ECL substrate (Thermo Scientific), and images were captured with the ChemiDoc Imaging System (Bio-Rad). Bands were quantified using ImageJ software (NIH), and IL-6Rα expression values were normalized to the expression of β-actin (AC028, ABclonal). Quantified western blot data was presented as fold control relative to normalized wildtype expression.

Immunoprecipitation Assay of OAT3 Protein

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The immunoprecipitation assay of OAT3 was conducted based on the standard protocol established in our lab [13 (link),14 (link)]. In short, treated cells were lysed at 4 °C, and an equal amount of total proteins (~1000 μg) was mixed with protein G resin at 4 °C for 4 h to lower non-specific binding. In the meantime, the primary antibody was mixed with protein G resin at 4 °C to create an antibody–resin complex. Then, the pre-cleared protein samples were incubated with the antibody–resin complex at 4 °C overnight with gentle shaking. Next, the proteins captured on protein G resin were denatured and eluted with Laemmli buffer from Thermofisher Scientific (Waltham, MA, USA). The eluted samples were measured by standard SDS-PAGE and western blotting with indicated primary and secondary antibodies in each experiment.

The purity of ELPs was evaluated by sodium dodecyl sulfate−polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS−PAGE). A total of 10 μg per 15 μL of ELPs were mixed with β-mercaptoethanol in Laemmli buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA #31350010 and Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA #1610747, respectively) at a 1:4 ratio, denatured at 95 °C for 5 min, loaded on a 4−20% gradient Mini-Protean TGX precast gel (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA #456-1095), and run for 32 min at 200 volts.

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.
