Western blot assays [36 (link)] were carried out using minigels [37 ] transferred to PVDF membranes (Immun-Blot®, BioRad Laboratories Inc.) using a Trans-Blot® Turbo™ Transfer System (BioRad Laboratories Inc.). Transfer conditions were 25 V during 30 minutes. Membranes were washed in Tris-buffered saline with 1% Tween 20 (TBST) and blocked with 5% skimmed milk (Sigma-Aldrich Co.) in TBST overnight. After blocking, membranes were washed 3 times with TBST and incubated for 2 hours with M22.8 hybridoma supernatant (1:10 dilution in TBST with 2,5% skimmed milk) at room temperature (RT). For colorimetric Western blotting assays, goat anti-mouse IgG antibodies conjugated to AP (Dako) diluted 1:1,000 in TBST with 2.5% skimmed milk were used as secondary antibodies (1.5 hours, RT). Goat anti-mouse IgG antibodies conjugated to horse rabbit peroxidase (HRP) (Dako) diluted 1:50,000 in TBST with 2.5% skimmed milk were used as secondary antibodies (1 hour, RT) for chemiluminescent Western blot assays. Colorimetric Western blot assays were revealed with 1-Step NBT/BCIP (Thermo Scientific) whereas the Immun-Star™ WesternC™ Chemiluminescent Kit (BioRad Laboratories Inc.) was selected for chemiluminescent assays. Protein bands were analyzed using the ChemiDoc XRS imaging system in conjunction with ImageLab software (BioRad Laboratories Inc.).

Human dermal fibroblasts were pretreated with 1 μmol/L shikonin or 0.1% DMSO for 2 h, and then stimulated with 50 ng/ml TNF-α for 30 min. Then, cytoplasmic proteins were extracted by nuclear extract kit (Active Motif, Carlsbad, California, USA) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Proteins were separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis on 5–20% gradient gel (Atto Co., Tokyo, Japan), and transferred onto nitrocellulose membrane by a semi-dry transfer method using iBlot® system (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA). After blocked with 2% BSA for 1 h at room temperature, membranes were incubated with anti-IκB-α phospho Ser 32, 36 mAb (1:250 dilution), followed by incubation with alkaline phosphatase-conjugated anti-mouse IgG pAb (1:2000 dilution) or HRP-DirecT-conjugated anti-GAPDH mAb (1:1000 dilution). Reactions were visualized using 1-step™ NBT/BCIP (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL, USA) or HRP detection systems (Atto Co., Tokyo, Japan).

Western blot was performed as previously described.24 Chlamydial proteins were co-expressed with the c-Myc tag under the same inducible promoter. Thus, the detection of c-Myc was inferred as foreign chlamydial protein expression. The membrane was probed with 1:500 anti-c-Myc antibody (BioLegend, San Diego, CA, USA) and 1:1,000 anti-mouse IgG-AP-linked antibody (Cell Signaling Technology, Inc., Danvers, MA, USA) as a secondary antibody. The intensity of the specific bands was visualized with 1-step NBT/BCIP (5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-phosphate/nitro blue tetrazolium) substrate solution (Thermo Fisher Scientific).
Western blot was also performed to detect the presence of flagellar proteins in the bacterial samples. The membrane was probed with 1:1,000 anti-E. coli Flagella H Pool A serum (Statens Serum Institut, Copenhagen, Denmark) as the primary antibody and 1:1,000 anti-rabbit IgG-AP antibody in TBST (Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO, USA) as the secondary antibody. The intensity of the specific bands was visualized with a 1-step NBT/BCIP substrate solution (Thermo Fisher Scientific).

Electrophoretic separation of proteins was carried out using Laemmli PAGE in a discontinuous buffer system in the presence of 0.1% SDS in Tris-glycine buffer. Then, the proteins of cell lysates and culture medium, separated electrophoretically in a polyacrylamide gel, were transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane (Cytiva, Marlborough, MA, USA). Protein transfer was controlled by staining the membrane with crimson C for several minutes, followed by washing the dye with distilled water.
Western blot analysis was performed using the SNAP i.d system 2.0 (Merck Millipore, Burlington, MA, USA) in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. The serum of a ferret immunized with influenza A (H5N8) virus (1:200 dilution) was used as primary antibodies (FBRI SRC VB «Vector», Rospotrebnadzor). A fraction of anti-ferret immunoglobulins from mouse serum (dilution 1:3000) (FBRI SRC VB «Vector», Rospotrebnadzor) was used as secondary antibodies. Immune complexes were visualized using anti-mouse antibodies conjugated to alkaline phosphatase (1:5000) (Sigma-Aldrich, Saint Louis, MO, USA) and subsequent incubation with phosphatase substrate 1-Step™ NBT/BCIP (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A. gossypii transformants were grown on AFM containing 200 μM G418 at 28°C for 7 days. Protein expression was verified by harvesting the mycelium and preparing whole-cell protein extracts of the A. gossypii transformant colonies, as described previously (28 (link)). The prepared extracts were analyzed by immunoblotting using specific antisera (1:2,500 dilutions) for detection of the various FBDPs, except for the extracts containing tamavidin 1, where the blotted extract proteins were probed for bound biotin using the Vectastain ABC alkaline phosphatase system (Vector Laboratories) in combination with a 1-Step NBT/BCIP (nitro-blue tetrazolium/5-bromo-4-chloro-3′-indolyl phosphate) solution (Thermo Scientific). Antisera against Coprinopsis cinerea galectin 2 (CGL2) and Coprinopsis cinerea lectin 2 (CCL2) were described previously (18 (link), 28 (link)). The rabbit antisera against Marasmius oreades agglutinin (MOA), Aleuria aurantia lectin (AAL) and Sordaria macrospora transcript associated with perithecial development 1 (TAP1) were raised against the purified recombinant proteins by Pineda Antikörper-Service (Berlin, Germany). Expression and purification of these proteins from E. coli were carried out as previously described (28 (link), 35 (link), 55 (link)).

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.
