Proteins were extracted using RIPA lysis buffer (Beyotime) and quantified by bicinchoninic acid (BCA) method following the standard protocol. An equal amount of extracts was treated with 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and shifted onto a nitrocellulose membrane (Millipore). Subsequently, the membranes were incubated with specific primary antibodies PAX6 (1:1000, ab5790, Abcam) and GADPH (1:1000, ab8245, Abcam), and followed by interaction with secondary HRP-conjugated antibody (1:1000, ab9482, Abcam). Finally, protein signals were examined using an ECL method.

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.
