Native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) was performed using ReadyGels (7.5%; Bio-Rad) as described in our previous study (23 (link)). Briefly, gels were prerun with 25 mM Tris and 192 mM glycine (pH 8.4) with 1% deoxycholate (DOC) in the cathode chamber for 30 min at 40 mA. Samples in native sample buffer (10 μg protein, 62.5 mM Tris-Cl [pH 6.8], 15% glycerol, and 1% DOC) were size fractionated by electrophoresis at 80 V and transferred to PVDF membranes for WB analysis.

Detecting Genetic Differences via Heteroduplex Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For HMA, 4.5 µl aliquots of PCR amplified products of two clones (a reference clone and a test clone within each sub-isolate) were combined, and 1 µl of 10X annealing buffer (100 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0 containing 1M NaCl and 20 mM EDTA) was added. The DNA mixture was denatured at 95°C for 10 min, reannealed at 68°C for 1 hr, incubated at 0°C for 10 min, and then electrophoresed on a 10% polyacrylamide gel (Bio-Rad ready gels) for 2.5 hrs at 120 volts at 4°C. Heteroduplexes, when present, migrate between the lower band of homoduplex DNA and the upper band of ssDNA. The heteroduplexes indicate that the test clone is genetically different from the reference clone (Figure 1). The first clone picked from a transformation plate for each sub-isolate was used as the reference clone for analysis of all other clones.

The protein samples were analyzed using a BCA kit (Pierce Company). The samples were separated by 10–20% Ready Gels (Bio-Rad, USA) and transferred onto a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane for 30 min in a transfer electricity meter (Bio-Rad, USA). The PVDF nitrocellulose films were cleared and sealed with 5% milk. After washing, anti-Notch 1 (1: 500, Abcam, USA), anti-Notch 2 (1: 800, Abcam, USA), anti-Notch 3 (1: 1000, Abcam, USA), and anti-DLL4 (1: 1000, Abcam, USA) were added to incubate overnight at 4°C. Then, these films were washed 3 times with Tris-buffered saline tween (TBST) and incubated with HRP secondary antibodies (1: 5000, Sigma, USA) at room temperature for 1 h. Relative expression levels of each protein were normalized to endogenous control β-actin using Image J software.

Immunoblotting was performed as previously described.11 (link),20 (link) Briefly, MSC were plated
at 5 × 104 cells per well in a six-well plate prior to lysis with
universal lysis buffer (Millipore). Protein quantification was performed with
Qubit Fluorometer and Quant-iT™ protein assay kit (Invitrogen) to ensure equal
loading of samples. Protein lysates were diluted 1:1 with 2 × Laemmli buffer and
denatured at 95°C, before loading on Tris HCl 4–20% ready gels (Bio-Rad). Gels
were transferred to nitrocellulose membrane and subsequently blocked with 5%
bovine serum albumin (Sigma) or 5% milk in tris-buffered saline–Tween for 1
hour. Incubation with primary antibody anti-FH (Abcam, ab95950),
anti-nuclear-related (erythroid-derived 2) factor 2 (anti-NRF-2) antibody
(R&D, AF3925), anti-hypoxia inducible factor1α (anti-hypoxia inducible
factor1α (anti-HIF-1α; Abcam, ab51608)), anti-COX5 (Santa Cruz, SC-376907) and
anti-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH; Abcam, ab9484) was
performed overnight at 4°C. Amersham ECL Plus™ Western Blotting Detection System
(GE Healthcare) was used to visualise specific protein expression patterns by
chemiluminescence. The integrated density of bands was measured using ImageJ
(National Institute of Health, NIH), and values are expressed relative to GAPDH
loading control protein.

Western blot was done as described (Sun et al., 2011 (link)). Briefly, cingulate cortex tissue was homogenized in cold buffer (lithium lauryl sulfate, 2%; aprotinin, 1.7 mg/ml; phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, 10 mg/ml; sodium orthovanadate, 1 mM). The homogenate was centrifuged at 15,000 rpm for 15 min at 4 °C. Protein concentration was determined by the Bradford method. Protein samples (40 μg) were analyzed by SDS-PAGE with 5–15% or 10–20% Ready Gels (Bio-Rad).

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.
