Total creb

Manufactured by Cell Signaling Technology
Sourced in United States, United Kingdom

Total CREB is a lab equipment product that measures the total amount of the CREB (cAMP response element-binding) protein in a sample. CREB is a transcription factor that plays a crucial role in various cellular processes, including gene expression, neuronal function, and cellular metabolism. The Total CREB product provides a quantitative assessment of the total CREB levels in a given sample, without making any interpretations or claims about its intended use.

CD4+ T cells were isolated from B6 or SLE123 spleens via negative MACS. These cells were then rested in DMEM with 5% FBS, Pen-Strep, and 2-ME for 1 hour. They were then stimulated as described. These cells were then resuspended in a buffer containing 320 mM sucrose (Thermo Fisher Scientific), 10 mM HEPES buffer (Corning), 8 mM MgCl2 (Invitrogen), Roche EDTA-free Complete Protease Inhibitor, and 0.1% Triton X-100 (MilliporeSigma) for 15 minutes on ice. The cells were then fixed for 30 minutes on ice with 4% PFA (Pierce) added to the previously described buffer. Cells were then washed and permeabilized with 0.3% Triton X-100 on ice for 15 minutes. Isolated nuclei were then washed with FACS buffer containing 3% FBS and sodium azide (MilliporeSigma). They were then stained with SyTOX Green Nucleic Acid Stain (Thermo Fisher Scientific), and total CREB (Cell Signaling Technology, 48H2), total ATF1 (MilliporeSigma, SAB4501950), or total CRTC2 (MilliporeSigma, 5B10).

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.
