Phosphate-buffered saline was flushed through both the upper and lower channels and total protein was extracted in situ using cell lysis buffer supplemented with protease and phosphatase inhibitor (# MSSAFE, Sigma, Carlsbad, CA). Protein concentration was then determined and equal amounts of protein lysates were heat denatured and separated on a 10% mini-protean precast gel (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA). Gel was then transferred on to midi format 0.2 μm Nitrocellulose Membrane (Bio-Rad). Blot was blocked in Odyssey Blocking Buffer (LI-COR, Lincoln, NE) for 1 hour and then incubated in primary antibody for STAT1, pSTAT1, and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (Supplementary Table 1) overnight at 4ºC. After incubation with infrared conjugated secondary antibodies (LI-COR) for 1 hour, blots were washed with TBST and bands were visualized by scanning membrane on Odyssey Infrared Imaging System (Li-COR). Image J analysis was used to quantify levels of phosphorylated STAT1 compared with glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase.

Total soluble protein concentrations were measured using a Bradford assay (BIO-RAD). 4X Laemmli sample buffer (BIO-RAD 161–0774) was added to 100 μg of total protein extracts and samples were boiled for 5 min. Samples were run in 4%–20% Mini-PROTEAN TGX Precast gels (BIO-RAD, 456–1094) and transferred to nitro-cellulose membrane using 1X transfer buffer (25mM Tris, 190 mM glycine, 20% Methanol and 0.1% SDS) over night at 4°C. Membranes were blocked with Odyssey blocking buffer (LI-COR) and then incubated with primary BRCA1 antibody (Millipore, OP92), which is raised against the N-terminal region of BRCA1 protein, overnight at 4°C. Following incubation with dye-labeled mouse secondary antibody for 2 hours at room temperature, signals were visualized using an Odyssey Fc imaging system (LI-COR).

For all immunoblotting experiments, cells were grown in six-well plates and used at 75% confluency for treatments. After the indicated treatments, the cells were washed with ice-cold PBS and lysed using RIPA lysis buffer, supplemented with protease–phosphatase inhibitor (MS-SAFE; Sigma-Aldrich). Protein concentration was determined using Bio-Rad DC protein assay (Bio-Rad laboratories). 30 μg cellular protein lysates were resolved by 12% SDS–PAGE, transferred to PVDF membrane (Bio-Rad), and probed with antigen-specific primary antibodies. Blocking was performed with 5% skim milk; except for the phospho antibodies, which was instead performed with 5% bovine serum albumin. For all analyses, HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies were used (peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG or peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG (Jackson ImmunoResearch)) and detection was performed using SuperSignal West Femto Maximum Sensitivity Substrate (Thermo Fisher Scientific). The results were analyzed using Image Lab v6.1 by Bio-Rad laboratories.

Protein lysate (30 μg) with 2 X Laemmli buffer (in 1:1 ratio) was loaded onto a 4–20% gradient gel (Bio-Rad, Mississauga, ON, Canada). The gel was transferred onto a PVDF membrane using the Trans-Blot Turbo Transfer System (Bio-Rad). Membranes were blocked for 1 hr at room temperature in a blocking buffer (5% BSA in PBS-T), with a solution containing primary antibodies. After washing and the addition of the secondary antibody, membranes were developed using SuperSignal West Dura and photographed using the Bio-Rad GelDoc system with Image Lab software.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Unfed females of Rhipicephalus sanguineus were obtained from a tick colony as previously described (12 (link)). The ticks were externally rinsed in a mild detergent solution (1% Alconox, USA) for 1 min, surface sterilized in 1% sodium hypochlorite for 1 min, and finally washed three times in sterile saline. Dissections were performed on ice under a stereomicroscope using sterile forceps and microdissection scissors as previously described (5 (link)). Briefly, live ticks were anesthetized by chilling on ice, affixed on wax and covered with 50–150 μl of ice-cold phosphate-buffered saline (PBS, Biological Industries, Israel) containing protease inhibitors (MSsafe, Sigma, MO, USA). Organs were removed and washed in 100 μl of ice-cold PBS and immediately frozen (−80°C) in 25 μl of PBS. Care was taken to remove only the distal part of each Malpighian tubule containing CLEs (5 (link)). Ovaries were removed intact. Protein was extracted from 20 individual samples of Mt and Ov per sample as described next, in three biological replicates (Table 1).

Protein Extraction and Detection from Stored Heart Tissue

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Stored heart tissue was homogenized in RIPA buffer along with a protease inhibitor (MS-SAFE, Sigma-Aldrich, USA). Homogenate was then centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 15 min and the protein concentration in the supernatant was estimated using Bradford’s assay. A total of 40 μg of proteins were separated on 12% denatured resolving gel through polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) in reducing condition and transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane (0.2 µm; Bio-rad, USA). Thereafter, the membrane was blocked with BSA (3%) for 2 h at RT. The membrane was incubated overnight with the respective primary antibodies along with the GAPDH antibody, followed by the particular secondary antibodies in a specific combination for 2 h at RT. After that, the bands having HRP-conjugated antibody were detected by the enhanced Chemiluminescence (ECL) method using ECL kit (Clarity western enhanced luminescence kit, Bio-rad, USA) while the fluorescence (PE)-labelled antibody was detected using MultiFluor Red channel with red epi light and Far Red (710 nm) filter under gel documentation system, FluorChem M, Protein Simple, California, USA.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
CAL27 and HSC-3 cells were treated with 10 μM ICG-001/DMSO for 50–55 h. Cells were cultured to approximately 60% confluence, then lysed using Triton-X-100/β-octylglucoside buffer (10 mM imidazole, 100 mM NaC1, 1 mM MgC12, 5 mM Na2EDTA, 1% Triton-X-100, 0.87 mg/mL β-octylglucoside) and MS-SAFE (Sigma) protease and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail. Protein levels of total cell lysates from CAL27 and HSC3 cells were quantified by absorbance (280 nm), and 700 μg of lysate was used per immunoprecipitation. Immunoprecipitation was performed according to the manufacturer guidelines using a Pierce Crosslink Immunoprecipitation Kit from Thermo Scientific (#26147) with 3 μg of a mouse monoclonal antibody to EGFR (111.6, ThermoFisher MA5–13269). The binding of the antibody to protein A/G plus agarose, as well as the crosslinking of the bound antibody, were performed individually for each sample, followed by the addition of the pre-cleared lysate. EGFR was eluted using the proprietary elution buffer included with the kit, presumed to be a low pH and high molar solution of glycine. After elution, immunoprecipitated proteins were neutralized by addition of 1 M Tris buffer, pH 8.0, and stored at −20 °C until proteolysis.

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.
