Quantifying Cell Surface and Total CCR5 Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
WT and mutant CCR5 coding sequences were tagged with a FLAG sequence in N-terminal position as described in ref. 60 (link). HEK 293 cells were transfected with WT and mutant CCR5 using Lipofectamine 2000 (Life Technologies). Transfected cells were detached at day 2 and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 min at room temperature (RT). The total amount of CCR5 in the cells was determined after permeabilization of fixed cells with 0.05% saponin in PBS with BSA 3% for 10 min at RT. Unpermeabilized cells were used to measure CCR5 surface expression. Cells were incubated with an antibody against the FLAG epitope (anti-Flag M1 used at 1:500, Sigma-Aldrich) followed by a PE-conjugated goat anti-mouse secondary antibody (used at 1:100, BD Biosciences). The stained cells were washed and analyzed on a Cytoflex S flow cytometer (Beckman Coulter) using the CytExpert Sofware v2.4.

Co-immunoprecipitation assays was carried out with HEK293 cells homogenized in 0.4 mL of lysis buffer and centrifuged for 30 minutes at 4°C and 16,100 xg. Supernatants were transferred to fresh centrifuge tubes, and 10 μL Protein A-Sepharose beads (GE17–0780-01, Millipore, MA) and 1.0 μg of control IgG antibody (sc-66931, SCBT, CA) were added. Tubes were incubated for 1 hour at 4C to preclear samples. Precleared samples (1 mL) were incubated with 30 μL Protein A-Sepharose beads and 2 μg of anti-Flag M1 (Sigma-Aldrich, # F3040) or anti-IgG antibody (sc-66931, SCBT, CA) at 4°C overnight. After incubation, beads were rinsed with lysis buffer 3 times. The washed beads were mixed with 30 μL 2x SDS loading buffer (#161–0747, Bio-Rad Laboratories, CA), subjected to electrophoresis, and Western blotted for FLAG-β2AR, Nb80, and PDE4D5. Gel images were taken and quantified using a Bio-Rad ChemiDoc MP Imager.

After separation by SDS-PAGE on standard polyacrylamide Tris-glycine gels, the proteins were transferred onto PVDF membranes (pore size 0.45 μm, Sigma). The membranes were blocked with 5% (w/v) dried skimmed milk in TBS (25 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl) and incubated with primary antibodies followed by IRDye fluorescently labelled secondary antibodies (LI-COR). The membranes were scanned with an Odyssey near-infrared imager (LI-COR). Primary antibodies and antisera against human IRE1α LD (Shemorry et al, 2019 (link)), mouse IRE1α serum (NY200) (Bertolotti et al, 2000 (link)), hamster BiP (chicken anti-BiP (Avezov et al, 2013 (link))), eIF2α (mouse anti-eIF2α (Scorsone et al, 1987 (link))) and monoclonal anti-FLAG-M1 (Sigma) were used.
Coomassie-staining was carried out with Instant Blue (Expedeon). Signal quantitation from SDS-PAGE gels or from immunoblots was carried out using the ImageJ software (NIH). For quantitative immunoblotting (Fig. EV5B), a precast gel NuPAGE™ 4 to 12%, Bis-Tris, 1.0–1.5 mm, Mini Protein Gel (Thermo Fisher) was used.

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.
