Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
SDS-PAGE was performed with 4%–20% precast gels in Tris-based buffer system from SERVA Electrophoresis (#43289.01) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. PageBlue Protein Staining Solution (Fermentas, #R0571) was used for coomassie-staining the gels, images were taken with iPhone 6s (Apple) and the contrast was adjusted using ImageJ (version 1.52d). Global identification and quantification of MSU- and zymosan-binding proteins in the presence of different donor sera was done as previously described (25 (link)). In brief, eluted proteins were reduced with DTT, alkylated with acrylamide, and separated using SDS-PAGE (4%–20%, Sigma-Aldrich). Whole lanes were cut into three individual slices and proteins therein were in-gel digested with trypsin. Generated peptides were analyzed using an LC-MS system consisting of an Orbitrap Velos mass spectrometer coupled to an Ultimate 3000 RSLC nanoflow system (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Raw data were analyzed with the Andromeda search engine implemented in MaxQuant software (version 1.5.3.30; www.maxquant.org). Proteins were identified based on a false discovery rate (FDR) of less than 0.01 on protein and peptide level.

After weighing the hypothalamus, pituitary gland and ovary, RIPA lysate was added at the ratio of weight: lysate volume equal to 1:9. The tissue homogenate was centrifuged three times at 15,000 g for 10 s. After incubation on ice for 20 min, the supernatant was centrifuged at 4 °C and 13,000 g. Then, the supernatant was transferred to PVDF membrane by SDS-PAGE (Sigma), which was subsequently taken out and soaked in 3% BSA-TBST, and then sealed for 30 min by shaking at room temperature. After the blocking solution was discarded, IFN-γ antibody was added at a dilution ratio 1:10,000, and the solution was incubated for 10 min at room temperature and then overnight at 4 °C. The membrane was washed five times with TBST for 3 min each time, and incubated 40 min at room temperature with the secondary anti mouse IgG (H + L) HRP at the dilution ratio of 1:10,000. Then wash the membrane by TBST 6 times, for 3 min each time. After ECL was added to the PVDF membrane for 3–5 min, the membrane was exposed for 10 s to 5 min (the exposure time was inversely proportional to the light intensity). Finally, developed for 2 min, and performed fixation. The gray values of protein bands were quantified by ImageJ software. Quantification of related proteins was normalized to β-actin levels.

Exosomal protein makers were determined using western blot. Fifteen micrograms of EVs protein were resolved with sodium dodecyl sulfate‐polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS‐PAGE, Sigma‐Aldrich) and blotted to a polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane (Merck Millipore, Bedford, MA, USA). The blotted membrane was blocked with 5% skim milk (Sigma‐Aldrich) for 1 h at room temperature followed by staining with anti‐CD81 (1:250, cat. 10630D, Invitrogen, La Jolla, CA, USA) and antiflotillin‐1 (1:2000, cat. F1180, Sigma‐Aldrich) at 4 °C overnight. The membrane was washed with buffer several times to remove primary antibodies before staining with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)‐conjugated secondary antibody for 1 h at room temperature. The chemiluminescent signal was developed using ECL Prime western blotting detection reagent (GE Healthcare, Chicago, IL, USA) and visualized by chemiluminescent detection instrument (Bio‐Rad, Hercules, CA, USA).

Ctrl (n = 5), C9orf72 (n = 3), FUS (n = 1), TARDBP (n = 2), and uvALS (n = 3) fibroblasts were lysed on plates in 2xLaemmli buffer and the lysates were boiled at 100 °C for 5 min. Spinal cords, sciatic nerves, and gastrocnemius muscles of n = 4 animals per group were dissected [1 (link)] and lysed in homogenization buffer (50 mM Tris HCl pH 7.4, 250 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 5 mM MgCl2, 1% Triton X-100, 0.25% Na-deoxycholate, 0.1% SDS, protease inhibitor cocktail from Sigma-Aldrich). After 2 × 10″ sonication cycles, samples were incubated on ice and then centrifuged at 15,000×g for 20′ at 4 °C. Supernatants were then quantified with Bradford protein assay (Bio-Rad) and resuspended in Laemmli Buffer before SDS-PAGE (Sigma-Aldrich). Proteins were separated on 10% SDS-PAGE and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes, followed by incubation with 5% skimmed milk for 1 h and with primary antibodies at 4 °C overnight. HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies (1:2,500, Jackson ImmunoResearch) were applied at RT for 1 h. ECL solution (Roche) was used for chemiluminescent detection. GAPDH was used as a control for equal loading. Following densitometry-based quantification and analysis using ImageJ software, the relative density of each identified protein was calculated.

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.
