Immunoblot polyvinylidene fluoride pvdf membranes

Manufactured by Bio-Rad
Sourced in United States

Immunoblot polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes are a type of lab equipment used in western blotting techniques. They serve as a support medium for the transfer and immobilization of proteins separated by gel electrophoresis. PVDF membranes provide a stable and durable surface for the subsequent detection and analysis of specific proteins.

All cells were lysed with radioimmunoprecipitation assay (RIPA) buffer: 20 mM Tris pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 0.5% deoxycholate, 1% Triton X-100, 0.1% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), 1 mM EDTA, 1 mM sodium orthovanadate, 1 mM PMSF, and a mixture of protease inhibitors (Complete, EDTA-free, Roche Applied Science). Lysates were cleared of insoluble material by centrifugation. As noted, lysates were immunoprecipitated with the indicated antibodies using protein G sepharose beads (GE Healthcare Life Sciences, Pittsburgh, PA, USA). Samples were electrophoresed through polyacrylamide-SDS gels and then transferred to Immuno-Blot polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA). Membranes were blocked in phosphate-buffered saline containing 0.05% Tween and 5% bovine serum albumin and then incubated with antibodies against the target proteins. After washing, the membranes were incubated with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated anti-mouse IgG or anti-rabbit IgG antibodies (Jackson Immuno Research, West Grove, PA, USA) before detection with a chemiluminescent substrate. Full images for all cropped blots are provided in Additional file 1 and Additional file 2.

Whole cell lysates were prepared from cells grown to 80-90% confluency by adding Laemmli Sample Buffer (BioRad) and collecting the lysates. The proteins in the lysates were then denatured at ∼100°C for 10 minutes. Equal amounts of protein extracts were loaded in SDS-polyacrylamide gels and subjected to electrophoresis, followed by transfer to Immunoblot polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes (BioRad). Immunoblotting was performed using the following antibodies: EHF (5A5.5); SOX2 (D6D9, Cell signaling technologies); GAPDH (MAB374, EMD Millipore); β-Tubulin (MAB3408, EMD Millipore); AKR1C1 (CPTC-AKR1C1-1, DHSB); AKR1C2 (CPTC-AKR1C2-1, DHSB); NRF2 (D1Z9C, cell signaling technologies); ELF3 (MAB5787, R&D), SLC3A2 (15193-1-AP, Proteintech) and GPX2 (MAB5470-SP, R&D). Membranes were washed off in 0.05% Tween-20 in Tris Buffered Saline (TBS-T). The membranes were next incubated with species-specific secondary antibodies, and washed in TBS-T. The Enhanced Chemi-Luminescence (ECL) method was used to detect fractionated proteins, and the membranes were either electronically imaged using BioRad ChemiDoc imaging system (BioRad), or bioblot radiograph films (LPS).

Western blot analysis was performed as previously described52 (link). Cells were washed three times with phosphate-buffered saline and lysed in radioimmunoprecipitation assay (RIPA) buffer (Nacalai Tesque). Cell lysates (10–20 μg) were heated in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) sample buffer (125 mM Tris-HCl, pH 6.8, 4% SDS, 25% glycerol, 10% 2-mercaptoethanol, 0.05 mM phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride and 0.004% bromophenol blue), separated by 10% e-PAGEL (Atto Corp, Tokyo, Japan) according to the manufacturer’s recommendations, and transferred onto immuno-blot polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes (Bio-Rad). The membranes were blocked in PVDF Blocking Reagent for Can Get Signal (Toyobo) for 1 h at 20–25 °C and incubated with the appropriate primary antibody in Can Get Signal Solution 1 (Toyobo) overnight at 4 °C. After washing, the membranes were incubated with the secondary antibody for 1 h at 20–25 °C. The signal was visualized by Chemi-Lumi One (Nacalai Tesque) and analyzed by ChemiDoc XRS + system with Image Lab software (Bio-Rad).

The cultured cardiomyocytes and heart tissues were washed twice with cold PBS, harvested, lysed in ice‐cold lysis buffer (pH = 7.4, 100 mM KCl, 10 mM HEPES, 1.5 mM MgCl), sonicated, homogenized and then subjected to protein extraction with RIRP buffer with a phosphatase inhibitor cocktail and a protease inhibitor cocktail. After centrifugation, a Pierce BCA protein assay kit was used to determine the protein concentration. Equal concentrations of soluble lysate protein (50 μg) were added to a 12% SDS‐PAGE Bis‐Tris gel, and the protein was transferred to immunoblot polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes (Bio‐Rad). Membranes were incubated and blocked overnight at 4℃ with antibodies against p‐AMPK/AMPK, p‐Akt/Akt and GAPDH. Then, the membranes were incubated with anti‐rabbit horseradish peroxidase–conjugated secondary antibodies (1:10 000 dilution). The immunoreactive bands were analysed with an enhanced chemiluminescence substrate kit (Biological Industries, BI).

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.
