Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Transfection was performed in the same manner as Lamin A/C knockdown, but cells were instead seeded on poly-D-lysine coated glass-bottom dishes at 15,000 cells cm−2. After the 72 hour incubation, samples were rinsed and directly fixed with 10% neutral buffered formalin for 15 minutes, preserving the attached morphology. Cells were then permeabilized with 0.1% Triton-X 100 for 15 minutes; blocked with 2% BSA for 20 minutes; incubated overnight with mouse anti-lamin A/C (ab8984, Abcam), diluted 1:250; and incubated with goat anti-mouse IgG Alexa fluor 594 conjugate (A-11032, ThermoFisher), diluted 1:500, for one hour. All steps were performed at room temperature, except for incubation with primary antibody at 4°C, and samples were rinsed three times with PBS between each step. Antibody solutions were prepared in 1% BSA.

Quantifying SUFU Variant Effects

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
peGFP-C1 SUFU constructs were nucleofected into ASZs and plated at 50% confluency into a 96-well plate in 6 biological replicates. After 24 hours, cells were treated with 154CF (Life Technologies) supplemented with Real Time Glow reagent per manufacture’s instructions (Promega). Time points were taken every few hours for 2 days to generate growth curves for each SUFU variant. Each well was normalized to itself after a three-hour equilibration to control for plating variation. Luminescence was measured by the SpectraMax M5 plate reader (Molecular Devices) at 37°C over a 1.5 second interval. SUFU overexpression via nucleofection in ASZ001 cells was confirmed via immunoblotting. Primary antibodies against HA (Abcam ab9134) and Lamin A + C (Abcam ab8984) as a loading control were 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.
