Nitrocellulose membrane

Manufactured by Biosharp
Sourced in China

Nitrocellulose membranes are thin, porous sheets commonly used in various laboratory techniques. They are made from a type of cellulose derived from cotton or wood pulp. Nitrocellulose membranes are designed to allow the transfer and immobilization of biomolecules, such as proteins and nucleic acids, for further analysis and detection.

Using protein extraction buffer (Solarbio, RIPA lysis buffer, Beijing, China), the protein was extracted from HCC tissues (tumor and matched normal adjacent tissues) and cell lines. Protein concentrations were determined via BCA Protein Assay Kits (Elabscience, Wuhan, China). On a 10% SDS-PAGE, protein sample fractions were separated and the remaining fractions were then transferred to nitrocellulose membranes (Biosharp, Shanghai, China). After being blocked overnight at 4 °C with 5% fat-free milk, primary antibodies were exposed to membranes.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Western blotting was performed using Multistrip Western blotting protocols described previously 67. Briefly, whole cell lysates from 500–1,500 oocytes or reconstructed embryos were lysed in beta‐mercaptoethanol‐containing loading buffer and heated at 95°C for 8 min. The embryonic lysates were separated by SDS–PAGE (90 V for 30 min, 30–50 V overnight, when the loading buffer is no longer on the gel, stop the electrophoresis). Following electrophoresis, the protein transferred from the gel to nitrocellulose membranes (Bio‐sharp, China). We next cut the membrane into two strips and blot separately. The membrane was followed by blocking in TBST containing 5% defatted milk (BD, USA) for 120 min at 4°C. After being probed with primary antibodies (overnight at 4°C), the membranes were washed in TBST, incubated with an HRP‐linked secondary antibody for 120 min at 37°C, and washed three times with TBST. Bound antibodies were detected with SuperSignal West Femto Substrate Trial Kit (Thermo, USA). The antibodies used are listed in IF section. Quantification analysis of band intensity was calculated by ImageJ software (NIH, Bethesda, USA, http://rsbweb.nih.gov/ij/).

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.
