Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The total RNAs of P19 cells were prepared as described above. The cDNAs were produced from 2 μg of total RNAs using SuperScript III (Life technologies) and 0.5 μg of oligo dT primer in a 20 μL reaction mixture. The cDNAs are used as templates for PCR. GoTaq polymerase (Promega, Fitchburg, WI, USA) with specific primers performed the PCR reactions. The DNA primer sequences, number of cycles and annealing temperatures for the candidates are described in Additional file 1: Table S1. Primers and conditions for β-Actin and GluR1 (controls) were described in a previous report [34 (link)]. The PCR products were analyzed on a 6% polyacrylamide gel. The gels were stained with SYBR Green I (Takara Bio Inc., Otsu, Japan), and a LAS-3000 (GE Healthcare, Fairfield, CT, USA) was used to analyze the images. The sequences of the PCR products were confirmed in a 3100 DNA sequencer (Life technologies). MultiGauge v 3.0 software (GE Healthcare) was used to perform the densitometry. Each experiment was performed at least three times to confirm reproducibility.
As for Ethics, this research did not involve any human subject, human material, or human data, and was not performed on any animals. This research involved Recombinant DNA Experiments and was approved by Life science committee of Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology.

Electrophoresis of postmortem samples was carried out using pre-cast NuPAGE Bis-Tris Mini Gels 4–12% (1.5 mm, 4–12%; Invitrogen, Carlsbad, USA). After blotting, the membranes were blocked in 5% milk/PBS for 1 h, followed by incubation with primary antibody in 5% milk, 0.1% Tween/PBS for 1 h at RT. The membrane was washed three times in 0.1% Tween/PBS and secondary antibodies in 5% milk, 0.1% Tween/PBS were added for 1 h at RT. After washing, enhanced chemoluminescence detection reagent (GE Healthcare) was added according to the manufacturer protocol and images were acquired using a CCD camera (LAS-3000).

For analyzing the phosphorylation/activation pattern of relevant molecules, cancer cells were treated with YHO-1701 and/or imatinib, osimertinib, or alectinib for 24 h; following this, they were lysed using RIPA buffer containing protease and phosphatase inhibitors (Nacalai Tesque, Inc., Kyoto, Japan). Lysate concentrations were determined using the BCA protein assay kit (Pierce Chemical Co., Rockford, IL) and normalized for protein load. The lysate was then separated on SDS–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis gels and transferred onto polyvinylidene fluoride membranes. The membrane was treated with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C.

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.
