Pierce bca protein detection kit

Manufactured by Beyotime

The Pierce BCA protein detection kit is a colorimetric assay used for the quantification of total protein concentration in a sample. The kit utilizes the bicinchoninic acid (BCA) reaction, where proteins reduce Cu2+ to Cu+ in an alkaline environment, and the resulting Cu+ ions chelate with BCA to produce a purple-colored complex that can be measured spectrophotometrically.

Total protein samples were extracted by treating tissues with RIPA lysis buffer (Biosharp, China). Protein concentration was determined using a Pierce BCA protein detection kit (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology, Shanghai, China). The protein was separated using 10% SDS-PAGE and transferred to a polyvinylidene fluoride membrane. After blocking in 5% skimmed milk, it was incubated with the primary antibodies occludin (Proteintech, 27260-1-AP, 1:1000), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) (Proteintech, 66351-1-Ig, 1:1000), BDNF (Proteintech, 28205-1-AP, 1:1000), vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM) (Huabio, SA05-04, 1:1000), TLR4 (Bioworld, BS3489, 1:1000), Myd88 (Bioworld, BS3521, 1:1000), phospho c-Jun N-terminal kinase (p-JNK) (Proteintech, 80024-1-RR, 1:1000), JNK (Proteintech, 24164-1-AP, 1:1000), caspase-3 (Cell Signaling Technology, 9662S, 1:1000), and β-Tubulin (Proteintech, 10068-1-AP, 1: 50,000) at 4°C overnight. After washing with TBST three times, the bands were incubated with appropriate antirabbit or antimouse secondary antibodies at room temperature for 1 h. The imprinting was observed via chemiluminescence (Pierce) and an Odyssey imaging system (Li-Cor-Biosciences, NE).

Isolation and Characterization of Nuclear Membrane Vesicles

The frozen neutrophils were homogenized after thawing. The homogenate was extracted, centrifuged (3,500 rpm, 5 min) at 4°C, and the nuclei and intact cells were removed. The supernatant was centrifuged (20,000 rpm, 25 min) at 4°C to remove the precipitate and mitochondria. The supernatant was then centrifuged (50,000 rpm, 1 h) at 4°C. The NM vesicles containing precipitation were collected and washed with 0.2 mM EDTA Na2 twice. The NM vesicles were extruded on 400-nm and 100-nm polycarbonate membranes for several times continuously. After 5 min of ultrasound, the membranes were stored at −80°C for later use. The membrane content was determined by Pierce BCA protein detection kit (Beyotime Biotechnology).

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.
