For Western blot analysis, the cells were harvested and lysed using RIPA lysis buffer (supplemented with 1× PMSF). Equal protein amounts (20–30 µg) were separated by SDS-PAGE and then blotted onto PVDF membranes. The blots were blocked with 5% non-fat milk for 1 h, probed with primary antibody at 4°C overnight, washed with TBS-Tween-20 three times, and finally incubated with secondary antibody for 1 h at room temperature.

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.
