A29L protein and its related polypeptides were separated using 12% SDS-PAGE separation and then transferred to 0.22-μm nitrocellulose membranes (GE Healthcare). The polypeptides were synthesized by GenScript Biotech Corporation and the terminal group of each peptide is linked to the primary amine on KLH by a crosslinker (crosslinker). The blotted membranes were blocked with 5% skim milk in tris-buffered saline and then incubated with the antibody at 37°C for 60 min. After washing thrice with PBST, the membranes were incubated with an HRP-conjugated goat anti-mouse antibody at 37°C for 60 min and visualized using chemiluminescent HRP substrates.

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.
