The expression of proteins was determined by western blot as previously described (18 (link)). The concentration of protein was detected using a BCA kit (Beyotime, Shanghai, China). Then, 30 μg of total protein was loaded onto 8% SDS polyacrylamide gels and transferred to the polyvinylidene fluoride membrane. The membrane then was blocked by 5% BSA (Sigma) for 1 h and incubated with primary antibodies at 4°C overnight. The next day, the membrane was washed with PBS for three times and then followed by incubation with HRP-labeled goat anti-rabbit IgG (Abcam, America) secondary antibody at 37°C for 1 h.

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.
