Quantitative p53 Protein Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The levels of p53 protein were quantitatively analysed using the Alphascreen SureFire Total p53 Assay Kit (TGR Biosciences/Perkin Elmer #TGRT53). Briefly, A549 cells (40,000 cells/well) were reverse transfected with 40 nM siRNA (final reaction volume 0.5 mL) in Nunc 24-well cell culture plates for 72 hours, refreshing media at 24 hours’ post transfection. Just prior to harvest, to normalise p53 signal, plates were imaged on the IncuCyte S3 Live-Cell Analysis Imaging System (Essen Biosciences) using the scan-on-demand feature (2015A software release), calculating the Phase Object Confluence (Percent) for each well. Media was then carefully removed, and the cell monolayers lysed with 30 μL 1x Alphascreen Lysis Buffer for 2-3 minutes on an orbital rocker, prior to transfer of lysates to −20°C. Lysates (4 μL/well in Perkin Elmer 384 well proxiplates, #6008280) were then assayed in as per the manufacturers’ instructions. Plates were then read using the Perkin Elmer EnSpire Multimode Plate Reader instrument using the instrument pre-defined Alphascreen settings and the data normalised to the cell confluence readings, then normalised to the non-targeting siRNA treated wells.

IL-17A/IL-17RA Binding Inhibition Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The ability of compounds to inhibit the binding of IL-17A to IL-17RA was followed with an AlphaLISA assay. 0.1 μl of compounds in 100% DMSO were serial diluted using Echo Acoustic Liquid Handler (LabCyte Sunnydale, CA) into 384 well proxiplates (Perkin Elmer). A 5 ul addition of IL-17RA-flag was added to the plate, followed by the addition of 5 ul Avi-tagged IL-17A-His to provide a final concentration of 2 nM of IL-17RA and IL-17A, respectively. The assay was carried out in 20mM HEPES, 150mM NaCl, 0.05% Tween-20, 0.1%Human Serum Albumin, pH 7and 1% DMSO. The assay mixture was allowed to incubate at room temperature for 2hours. After the 2 hour incubation 10uL of streptavidin donor beads (20ug/ml final) and Anti-FLAG acceptor beads (20 ug/ml final) were added to the plate. The plate was allowed to incubate for one hour at room temp, then read on the Envision (Perkin Elmer). The relative IC50 values were determined using a four parameter fit as shown in Eq 1. In this equation, bottom and top are defined as the plateaus of the curve, and H is the Hill Slope.
No inhibitory effect was observed from addition of 0.1% DMSO only.

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.
