Cells were transfected with polyethylenimine as previously described [42 (link)]. Cells were lysed in a cold, near-neutral pH solution containing 150 mM NaCl, 50 mM Tris pH 7.5 or 50mM sodium acetate pH5.3, 1% Triton X-100, 0.1% deoxycholic acid, 1X protease inhibitors (Roche). After centrifugation at 14,000 xg, for 15 minutes, at 4°C, supernatants were transferred to clean tubes on ice, to which rabbit anti-PGRN antibody-conjugated Affi-Gel 15 (Bio-Rad Laboratories), Myc-Trap or GFP-Trap beads were added, then rocked for 3–4 hours at 4°C. Samples were run on 12% polyacrylamide gels or 4–12% Bis-Tris gels (Invitrogen), then transferred to Immobilon-FL polyvinylidene fluoride membranes (Millipore Corporation) or nitrocellulose membranes (Millipore Corporation). Membranes were blocked with either 5% non-fat milk in PBS or Odyssey Blocking Buffer (LI-COR Biosciences) for 1 hour then washed with Tris-buffered saline with 0.1% Tween-20 (TBST) 3x for 5 minutes each. Membranes were incubated with primary antibodies, rocking overnight at 4°C, then washed as above, incubated with secondary antibodies for 2 hours at room temperature, then washed again. Membranes were scanned using an Odyssey Infrared Imaging System (LI-COR Biosciences). Densitometry was performed with Image Studio (LI-COR Biosciences).

Western Blot Protocol: Protein Detection

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were lysed in N-PER lysis buffer (ThermoFisher) supplemented with 1× Halt Protease and Phosphatase Inhibitor Cocktail (ThermoFisher). Lysates were reduced in Bolt Sample Reducing Agent (ThermoFisher) and LDS loading buffer (ThermoFisher) at 75 °C for 5 min. The samples were electrophoresed on a 4–12% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis gel (ThermoFisher) and electroblotted onto a 0.45-μm Immobilon-FL polyvinylidene fluoride membrane (Millipore) by using the Criterion Blotter (Bio-Rad). The membranes were blocked with a 1:2 dilution of Odyssey Blocking Buffer (LI-COR) in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) for 1 h at room temperature then incubated with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Odyssey IRDye secondary antibodies (LI-COR) were used for the detection on an Odyssey CLx scanner (LI-COR).

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.
