Prostate specific antigen

Manufactured by Agilent Technologies
Sourced in Denmark, United States

The Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) is a laboratory equipment used for the measurement of PSA levels in blood samples. PSA is a protein produced by the prostate gland and is often used as a biomarker for the detection and monitoring of prostate-related conditions.

Cells were lysed in SDS buffer, and 10 μl of protein was resolved in 12% polyacrylamide gels and transferred onto Hybond ECL membranes (GE Healthcare, Piscataway NJ). ELK4 (Abcam, Cambridge, UK), KLK2 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA), cyclin B1 (Santa Cruz), cyclin D1 (Santa Cruz), CDK2 (Santa Cruz), CDK4 (Santa Cruz), caspase 3 (Cell Signaling), cleaved caspase 3 (Cell Signaling), prostate specific antigen (PSA) (Dako, Glostrup, Denmark), AR (Santa Cruz), p21WAF1(Cell Signaling), p27KIP (Santa Cruz), and LC3-II (Abcam) antibodies were used to assess their protein expression levels. Beta actin expression was evaluated to confirm equal amount of protein loading using a monoclonal anti-beta-actin antibody (Sigma-Aldrich).

Proteins from frozen tissues or harvested cells were extracted as previously outlined [20 (link)]. The antibodies used were against the following antigens: fatty acid synthase (FAS), adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK)α, phospho-AMPKα, cyclin D1, p21, cleaved caspase 3, caspase 3, cleaved caspase 7, caspase 7, p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), phospho-p38 MAPK, extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2, and phospho-ERK1/2 (Cell Signaling Technology, MA, USA); cdk4 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, MA, USA); prostate-specific antigen (PSA; DAKO, Tokyo, Japan); and AR, NKX3.1, and β-actin (Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO, USA). Each band intensity was semi-quantified using ImageJ 1.51K (National Institute of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA).

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.
