Ecl prime blocking reagent

Manufactured by Cytiva
Sourced in Japan

ECL Prime Blocking Reagent is a laboratory reagent designed to reduce non-specific binding in Western blotting procedures. It is a solution of proteins and other components that can effectively block unoccupied binding sites on membranes, preventing the attachment of primary and secondary antibodies to areas where the target protein is not present.

Cell lysate or in vivo protein samples were separated by 10% SDS-PAGE, then electrophoretically transferred to 0.45 μm poly-vinylidene difluoride membranes (Millipore). Membranes were blocked for 1 h in Blocking Reagent (TOYOBO, Osaka, Japan), probed with primary antibodies followed by labeling with HRP-coupled secondary antibodies (Amersham, Piscataway, NJ), and then visualized using chemiluminescence reagent (ECL; Amersham). Images were captured using ImageQuant LAS 4000 (GE healthcare Bio-Sciences, Marlborough, MA, USA). Quantitative densitometric analyses were conducted using ImageQuant TL (GE healthcare Bio-Sciences). The protocol was slightly modified for detection of HDAC6 in cortex. Briefly, cerebral cortex was homogenized in RIPA buffer supplemented with 1 μM microstatin, 1 μM MG115, 40 μM Leupeptin, 100 μM ABSF, and 2 mM sodium orthovanadate, separated by 7.5–15% gradient SDS-PAGE and electrophoretically transferred to 0.45 μm poly-vinylidene difluoride membranes (Millipore). Membranes were blocked for 1 h with ECL Prime Blocking Reagent (Amersham, Piscataway, NJ) prior to immunoblotting, visualization, and densitometry as described above.

The expression of TetR after genomic integration was confirmed with western blotting. For SDS-PAGE, Any kDMini-PROTEAN® TGX Stain-Free™ precast gels were used. The protein amount was adjusted to 40 μg protein per sample, mixed with 4x protein loading buffer and heated to 95°C for 5–10 min. The SDS-PAGE gels were run with 140 V in 1× Laemmli buffer.
For western blotting, the Trans-Blot® Turbo™ Transfer system was utilized according to the manufacturer's protocol. Total protein was blotted to a PVDF membrane using the Trans-Blot® Turbo™ Mini PVDF transfer pack (0.2 μm PVDF, Bio-Rad). After blotting the proteins to the membrane, the membrane was blocked with 2% (w/v) ECL Prime blocking reagent (Amersham) in 1× TBST for 1.5 h. The anti-TetR antibody (C. Berens, FAU Erlangen) was used in a 1:5000 dilution, the anti-β-actin (Sigma-Aldrich) in a 1:7000 dilution. Detection was performed with the Clarity™ Western ECL Blotting substrate (Bio-Rad).

Recombinant Nanobodies for VacA/VacB

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Recombinant nanobodies with the Fc portion of rabbit IgG, which recognize specifically VacA or VacB were previously characterized (Bosmani et al., 2020) . The other following antibodies were used: pan-vacuolin (Dr. M. Maniak (Jenne et al., 1998) ), VatA (Dr. M. Maniak (Jenne et al., 1998) ), p80 (purchased from the Geneva Antibody Facility), cathepsin D (Dr. J. Garin (Journet et al., 1999) ), ubiquitin FK2 (Enzo Life Sciences), and GFP (pAb from MBL Intl., mAb from Abmart). Goat antimouse or anti-rabbit IgG coupled to AlexaFluor 488, AlexaFluor 594, AlexaFluor 647 (Invitrogen) or to HRP (Brunschwig) were used as secondary antibodies.
After SDS-PAGE separation and transfer onto nitrocellulose membranes (Protran), immunodetection was performed as previously described (Schwarz et al., 2000) but with ECL Prime Blocking Reagent (Amersham Biosciences) instead of non-fat dry milk. Detection was performed with ECL Plus (Amersham Biosciences) using a Fusion Fx device (Vilber Lourmat). Quantification of band intensity was performed with ImageJ.
For immunofluorescence, infected D. discoideum cells were fixed with ultra-cold methanol (MeOH) at the indicated time points and immunostained as previously described (Hagedorn et al., 2006) . Images were recorded with a Leica SP8 confocal microscope using a 63×1.4 NA oil immersion objectives.

Preparation of total cell lysate and western blot analysis were carried out as previously described [31 , 36 (link), 37 (link)] with the following modifications: The total proteins were electrophoresed on Extra PAGE One Precast Gel 5–20% (Nacalai Tesque, Kyoto, Japan, 13064‐64); the molecular weight marker used was a 3‐Color prestained XL‐ladder (APRO Science, Tokushima, Japan, SP‐2140); and the membranes were blocked in Blocking One (Nacalai Tesque, 03953‐95) or ECL Prime Blocking reagent (GE Healthcare Bio‐Sciences. Corp., Piscataway, NJ, USA, RPN418) for 30 min at room temperature. The following antibodies were used: goat anti‐XRCC4 polyclonal antibody (C‐20; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, TX, USA, sc‐8285), anti‐C9orf142 (PAXX) polyclonal antibody (Abcam, Cambridge, UK, ab126353), rabbit anti‐GFP polyclonal antibody (FL; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, sc‐8334), and mouse anti‐β‐actin monoclonal antibody (AC‐15; Sigma‐Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA, A5441). In accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, protein bands were detected using a Select Western Blotting Detection System (GE Healthcare Bio‐Sciences. Corp., RPN2235) or Chemi‐Lumi One Ultra (Nacalai Tesque, 11644‐40), and visualized using the ChemiDoc XRS System (Bio‐Rad, Hercules, CA, USA).

HeLa cells were lysed in lysis buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl (pH7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 1% NP-40, 0.5% sodium deoxycholate, 2 mM EDTA, supplemented with protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche)). Lysates were mixed with 2x sample buffer (62.5 mM Tris-HCl (pH6.8), 2% SDS, 10% Glycerol, 5% 2-mercaptethanol, 0.02% Bromophenol blue), electrophoresed on Laemmli SDS-PAGE gel, and transferred onto PVDF membranes (Immobilon-P, Millipore) using a Bio-Rad Trans-Blot system.

Horse radish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies were incubated for 60 min at room temperature and developed using ECL prime (Cytiva). Blots were imaged with a LAS 1000 imager (Fujifilm). All Western blots were reproduced at least three times as biological replicates. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.

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.
