Methanol activated polyvinylidene fluoride membrane

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

Methanol-activated polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane is a type of laboratory equipment used for various filtration and separation applications. The membrane is made of PVDF, a chemically and thermally resistant polymer, and is activated with methanol to enhance its wettability and permeability. The core function of this membrane is to facilitate the filtration and separation of liquid samples, such as aqueous solutions, by selectively allowing the passage of certain components while retaining others based on their size, charge, or other properties.

Validating Network Toxicology with Liver Protein Profiles

Proteins extracted from liver tissues of each group were used in Western blotting to validate the network toxicology results. The liver tissues were lysed using lysis buffer containing a protease inhibitor cocktail to extract total liver protein of rats in each group. The protein concentrations of samples were determined using the BCA method, and proteins were denatured via boiling for 5 min. Next, 40 μg of total protein in each group was loaded and separated using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide (baiqiandu) and transferred to methanol-activated polyvinylidene fluoride membranes (Millipore). Next, the membrane was blocked in TBST containing 5% skimmed milk for 1 h at room temperature, and incubated with primary antibody (HMOX1, 1:2000, Boster; IL2, 1:2000, Bioss; Caspase-3, 1:1000, Servicebio; GAPDH, 1:6000, Abcam) overnight, followed by incubation with the secondary antibodies (HRP-Goat anti rabbit, HRP-Goat anti mouse, 1:50,000, Searcare) at room temperature for another 30 min. ECL was used for protein imaging and development.

HASMCs and tissue sample proteins were extracted using RIPA buffer containing protease inhibitors (MedChemExpress, NJ, USA). The protein concentration was measured using BCA Protein Assay Reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Lysates were denatured by boiling with SDS-PAGE Buffer loading buffer (Reducing, 5×) (CWBIO, Beijing, China). The proteins and prestained protein ladder (Thermo Fisher Scientific) were resolved on 10% SDS-PAGE gels and transferred to methanol-activated polyvinylidene fluoride membranes (Millipore, MA, USA). Membranes were blocked with 5% nonfat dry milk for regular antibodies, and incubated with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. The next day. the membranes were incubated with HRP-conjugated secondary antibody (Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories) for 1 h at room temperature. Detection was performed with Immobilon ECL substrate (Millipore), and the blots were imaged with a ChemiDoc Touch Imaging System (Bio-Rad). Protein expression was quantified using Image Lab 3.0 (Bio-Rad); target protein expression was normalized to that of GAPDH or β-actin in each sample and is expressed as a percentage of the control. The primary antibodies used in the experiments are shown in Table S2.

Proteins were extracted from 0.1 g liver tissue, separated using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide, and transferred (300 mA for 60 min) to methanol-activated polyvinylidene fluoride membranes (Millipore, Bedford, MA, USA). The respective antibodies were applied overnight and washed three times TBST (Wuhan, Hubei, China) on the next day. A secondary antibody was applied for 1 h and washed three times in TBST for 3 times. ECL was used for protein imaging and development (Alpha Innotech, San Leandro, CA, USA).

Cells were lysed in radioimmunoprecipitation assay buffer (Beyotime, China) with Protease Inhibitor Cocktail Tablets (Roche, Switzerland). The total protein concentrations of the lysates were determined using the Bio-Rad protein assay kit. Equal amounts of protein were denatured with loading buffer (Beyotime) at 100°C for 10 min, then loaded in 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis for electrophoresis and transferred to a methanol-activated polyvinylidene fluoride membrane (Millipore, United States). The membrane was blocked in tris-buffered saline containing 5% bovine serum albumin (MP Biomedical, United States) for 1 h at room temperature. Primary antibodies were incubated overnight at 4°C. The primary antibodies included AKT2, CD133, DNMT3B, MYC, PIK3R1, RBL1 (1:1,000, Proteintech, United States), Bcl-2 (1:1,000, Affinity Biosciences, United States), and GAPDH (1:2,000, ZSGB-BIO, China). After washing with tris-buffered saline twice, the membrane was incubated with the appropriate horseradish peroxidase-labeled secondary antibody for 1 h at room temperature. The secondary antibody conjugated with horseradish peroxidase is goat anti-rabbit immunoglobulin G (1:5,000, ZSGB-BIO). Immunoblots were visualized using enhanced chemiluminescence detection system according to the manufacturer’s protocol.

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.
