Cells were lysed in cold RIPA buffer (50 mM Tris–HCl, 150 mM NaCl, 5 mM EDTA, 0.5% Nonidet P-40) containing protease inhibitor cocktail (Calbiochem, San Diego, CA, USA) on ice for 30 min. Lysates were centrifuged at 14,000 rpm at 4°C for 30 min. Protein concentration of the harvested supernatants was quantified with a BCA kit (Beyotime). The proteins were subjected to SDS-PAGE and transferred onto polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes (Burlington, MA, USA). After being blocked with 5% skim milk powder, the membranes were probed with specific primary antibodies at 4°C overnight. Following three washes in TBS solution (Solarbio, China), the membrane was incubated with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody (1:10000, Promega, USA) for 1 h at ambient temperature.

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.
