Supersignal west pico chemilluminescent substrate
SuperSignal West Pico Chemilluminescent substrate is a laboratory reagent used for the detection and quantification of proteins in Western blot analysis. It is a luminol-based substrate that produces a chemiluminescent signal upon reaction with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-labeled antibodies. The intensity of the emitted light is proportional to the amount of target protein present in the sample.

Western Blot Analysis of C-Reactive Protein
Western Blotting Protein Analysis
Equal quantities of total protein were resolved on 8-12% w/v polyacrylamide gels and protein was transferred to Hybond TM -P PVDF membrane (Amersham Biosciences). Membranes were blocked with 5% w/v non-fat Marvel milk in TBST buffer (25 mM Tris pH 7.6, 0.15 M NaCl, 0.1% v/v Tween-20) at room temperature for an hour followed by incubation with primary antibodies (dilutions given in figure legends) at 4°C overnight. The membranes were then washed with TBST and incubated for 1 hour at room temperature with horseradish peroxidase conjugated secondary antibodies.
Following washing, the specific proteins were detected using a SuperSignal® West Pico Chemilluminescent Substrate (Thermo Scientific). Where band intensity was quantified, the density of unsaturated exposures was determined with Scion Image software (NIH, USA) after scanning the blots at 600 dpi resolution.
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.
