Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Nuclease stability of DNA NPs was investigated following their incubation for 30 min at 37 °C in the presence of different concentrations of DNase I. DNase I buffer was made-up at 0.025 U/μL, 0.0025 U/μL and 0.00025 U/μL as described in the manufacturers guide (RNase-Free DNase, Qiagen). Following DNase treatment, complexes and naked pDNA were treated with proteinase K (20 μg) to remove peptide and allow visualisation of DNA by a gel sift assay. Samples were run on a 1% agarose gel (with 0.5 μg/mL ethidium bromide (EtBr)) in 1× trisacetate-ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) (TAE) buffer and visualized on a Luminescent Image Analyser LAS-4000 (FUJIFILM).

Enzymatic reactions were analysed by denaturing PAGE [4–8% polyacrylamide (acrylamide/N, N′-methylenebisacrylamide, 19:1), 7.5 M urea, 25% (v/v) formamide, 89 mM Tris, 89 mM boric acid, 2 mM EDTA]. The RNA samples were mixed with equal amount of 2× formamide loading solution [80% (v/v) formamide, 10 mM EDTA pH 8.0, 0.1 mg/mL xylene cyanol FF, 0.1 mg/mL bromophenol blue], and heated at 90 °C for 3 min before being loaded on the gel. The gels were electrophoresed and stained with SYBR Green II (Lonza) and visualised on a BioRad ChemiDoc XRS+ System (BioRad, Hercules, CA, USA), Luminescent Image Analyser LAS 4000 (Fujifilm, Tokyo, Japan) or FAS-IV Imaging System (Nippon Genetics, Tokyo, Japan). Low Range ssRNA Ladder (New England Biolabs, Ipswich, MA, USA) was used as the size marker. RNAs were also purified by preparative denaturing PAGE. The RNA bands were visualised by UV shadowing, and crushed and extracted with water. The extracts were desalted by centrifugation with Amicon Ultra-0.5 mL or Amicon Ultra-4 mL centrifugal filter unit (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA), according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The RNAs were then precipitated with sodium acetate (pH 5.2) and 2-propanol.

Cells/embryos were lysed in 2x sample buffer (0.125 M Tris pH 6.8/4% SDS/20% glycin/5% beta-mercaptoethanol/0.025% bromphenol blue). Proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE and transferred to Immobilon-P Transfer membranes (Millipore) by wet tank blotting. Blots were blocked in 5% nonfat dried milk powder (AppliChem) in PBS/0.1% Tween 20. Primary antibodies: anti-HA HRP (rat monoclonal; clone 3F10, Roche; HRP, horseradish peroxidase-conjugated; 1:5,000–1:10,000), anti-Flag HRP (mouse monoclonal; clone M2, Sigma), anti-GFP HRP (mouse monoclonal; MACS molecular; 1:10,000), anti-DLL1 (1F9, rat monoclonal, [21 (link)] 1:1,000), anti-DLL4 (rabbit polyclonal against peptide C-GKIWRTDEQNDTLT; BioGenes; 1:50–1:100), anti-β-actin (mouse monoclonal; MP Biomedicals; 1:250,000–1:500,000), anti-β-tubulin I (Sigma; 1:500,000). Secondary antibodies: anti-mouse HRP, anti-rat HRP, anti-rabbit HRP (Amersham; 1:10,000). HRP was detected with ECL Western Blotting Detection Reagents (Amersham) with the Luminescent Image Analyser LAS-4000 (Fujifilm); signals were quantitated with ImageJ software.

Jurkat Cell Protein Extraction and Western Blot

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The protein of Jurkat cells was extracted using a PRO-PREP (Intron Biotechnology, Seoul, Republic of Korea). The protein concentration was determined using Bio-Rad protein assay reagent according to the manufacturer’s instruction and BSA (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA) was used as a standard for quantification. Equal protein amounts were separated by 10% sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and transferred to PVDF membranes. The membranes were incubated for 1 h with blocking solution (5% skim milk) at room temperature and followed by incubation for primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. p-Lck (Y394) antibody (1:500, MBS128234, MyBioSource) was used as a primary antibody, and β-actin (1:1000, sc-81178, Santa Cruz Biotechnology) was used as an internal control. And then membranes were incubated with a 1:2000 dilution of horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody for 2 h at room temperature. The membranes were analysed using an enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) substrate and imaged by LAS-4000 luminescent image analyser (FUJIFILM, Tokyo, Japan).

THP1 or epHero THP1 cells were rendered apoptotic as described above, pelleted, and resuspended in cell lysis buffer containing protease and phosphatase inhibitors. Samples were sonicated on ice, and protein concentration determined via a BCA assay. Following this, 10 µg protein was loaded per well and electrophoresed through 4–12% SDS-PAGE gels before being transferred to a PVDF membrane as previously described [41 (link)]. The membranes were blocked in a solution comprising Tris-buffered saline containing 0.1% (v/v) Tween 20 and 5% (w/v) skim milk and incubated overnight at 4 °C with anti-mCherry (1:2 000) and anti-eGFP (1:1 000) antibodies. Incubation with HRP-conjugated anti-mouse or anti-rabbit secondary antibodies (1:10 000) was performed at room temperature for 1 h. To detect β-actin, membranes were incubated with an HRP-conjugated anti-β-actin antibody (1:10 000) for 1 h at room temperature. Membranes were developed on the LAS4000 Luminescent Image Analyser (Fujifilm Life Science, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA) using the West Pico or West Femto ECL systems.

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.
