Equal amounts of sample protein (12 µg) were separated on 10% Precise SDS–PAGE gels, semi-dry transferred to nitrocellulose membranes and stained with Ponceau S to confirm homogeneous transfer. After blocking for 1 h in 5% non-fat dried milk, membranes were washed three times in 0.1% Tween-Tris-buffered saline (TTBS) and incubated in anti-phospho PKC (pan) (ζ Thr410), anti-phospho PKC (pan) (βII Ser660) or anti-phospho p44/p42 MAPK (ERK1/2) (Thr202/Tyr204) antibodies (1∶1000 in TTBS) overnight at 4°C. After TTBS wash, blots were incubated for 2 h at room temperature with HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies (1∶3000 in TTBS) and exposed to West Pico chemiluminescence substrate. Immunoreactive bands were visualized with a GeneGnome imaging system (Syngene) and relative band intensities quantified using GeneTools software. Protein loading was determined by incubating blots with anti-actin antibodies (1∶1000). When necessary blots were stripped with Restore Western blot stripping buffer and incubated in an alternative antibody. In addition, to confirm that the anti-phospho PKC and anti-phospho ERK antibodies detected only the phosphorylated kinases, blots were treated with lambda phosphatase (400 U/ml in TTBS containing 1% BSA and 2 mM MnCl2) for 4 h before incubation in primary antibodies; secondary antibody labeling and detection were then performed.

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.
