Western blotting was performed as described previously49 (link). In brief, cells were harvested and lysed in 1× RIPA buffer (Sigma, St. Louis, MO) and protein was quantified using the Bradford reagent (BioRad, Marnes-la-Coquette, France). Cell lysates were loaded on SDS-polyacrylamide gels and Western blotting was performed using standard protocols with antibodies against ZC3H12A (GeneTex, CA, USA), and β-ACTIN (Sigma). After reaction with secondary antibodies, the antibody-bound proteins were detected using an ECL Western blotting kit (GE Healthcare Life Sciences, PA).

ABCB1-overexpressing TNBC VBL-MDA-MB-231 cells and the parental TNBC MDA-MB-231 cells were tested for mycoplasma and maintained in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) and Roswell Park Memorial Institute Medium (RPMI), respectively. Both growth media were supplemented with 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum, 100 U/mL penicillin and 100 μg/mL streptomycin. For immunoblotting of ABCB1, approximately 500 K cells were lysed via sonication and a freeze–thaw cycle (4 °C–24 °C) in a lysis buffer (10 mM Tris-Cl pH 8.0, 0.1% Triton X-100, 10 mM MgSO4, 2 mM CaCl2, 1% aprotinin, 1 mM 4-(2-aminoethyl)benzenesulfonyl fluoride hydrochloride, 2 mM DTT, and 20 μg/mL nuclease). The cell lysates were separated on a 7% precast Tris-acetate protein gel (60 K cells per well) and then transferred to a 0.2 μm nitrocellulose membrane. Protein expression of ABCB1 and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) was labeled using C219 (anti-ABCB1, 1 : 2000 dilution) and GAPDH-6C5 (anti-GAPDH, 1 : 10,000 dilution) primary monoclonal antibodies, respectively. Horseradish peroxidase-conjugated mouse IgG secondary antibody was used at 1 : 10,000 dilution. The blots were visualized by chemiluminescence produced by an ECL Western blotting kit (GE Healthcare).

The DNA fragments corresponding to the 284-bp upstream region of vtrB were amplified by PCR using 5’-biotinylated primers. The PCR products were separated by agarose gel electrophoresis and purified using the QIAquick Gel Extraction Kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA). This product was used for the biotinylated DNA probe. Increased concentrations of His-VtrAN or ZIP-fused VtrAN proteins were incubated with 4 nM biotinylated DNA probe in the reaction buffer (10 mM Tris-HCl at pH 7.5, 100 mM KCl, 1 mM dithiothreitol, 1 mM EDTA, 0.2% Nonidet P-40, 10% glycerol and 100 ng/ml bovine serum albumin) for 30 min at room temperature. Reaction mixtures were then separated by 6% non-denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in TGE buffer (25 mM Tris, 190 mM glycine and 1 mM EDTA) containing 100 mM KCl at 4°C. The DNA probe was electroblotted to a positively charged nylon membrane, UV cross-linked, probed with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated streptavidin and developed using the ECL Western blotting kit (GE Healthcare, Buckinghamshire, UK) according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Immunoblotting Protein Analysis Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
At the end of each experiment, cells were lysed in RIPA buffer (Cell Signaling Cat# 9806S). Complete protease/phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (Cell Signaling Cat# 5872S) was added to lysis buffer before use. Protein concentration was determined by Bio-Rad DC protein assay (Bio-Rad). The lysates were then clarified by centrifugation (15,000 g, 10 min) and the resulting supernatant used for immunoblotting. Whole cell lysates were mixed with Laemmli sample buffer and boiled. Aliquots containing equal amounts of protein (30–40 μg) were subjected to SDS-PAGE. Subsequently, proteins were transferred to nitrocellulose membranes and the membrane was blocked by incubation with 5% milk in TBS-T buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 0.05% Tween 20), for 1 hour at room temperature. The membrane was then incubated overnight at 4°C with the indicated primary antibody in 3% BSA in TBS-T buffer, washed three times in the same buffer and incubated for 1.5 hour with HRP-conjugated secondary antibody. The membrane was then washed three times with TBS-T buffer and visualized by enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) Western blotting kit according to the manufacturer's instructions (GE Lifesciences, Piscataway, NJ).

Expression Analysis of PfSWIB Fusion System

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To analyze the expression of the PfSWIB fusion system in integrated parasites lines, total parasite extracts were prepared by treatment with 0.15% saponin and re-suspended in SDS-loading buffer (Bio-Rad), then separated on a 12% SDS-PAGE gel (Bio-Rad) and subjected to western blot analysis. Total proteins from the 3D7 clone were used as controls. An antibody to aldolase (1:1000 dilution; Roche, Indianapolis, USA) was used as a positive control. Rabbit anti-HA (1:1000 dilution; Abcam, Cambridge, UK) was used to identify PfSWIB fusion proteins in different parasite lines. An enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) western blotting kit (GE Healthcare, Uppsala, Sweden) was used to develop western blots. The theoretical molecular weight of endogenous PfSWIB, HA tag and HA-FKBP-LID tag is 92kD, 3.5kD and 22kD, respectively. The gray-level image analysis procedure was implemented with ImageJ software. Statistical significance was determined (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Sample preparation for western blotting was performed as previously described (17 (link)). Briefly, parasites were synchronized at the ring stage, and 200 μL of erythrocytes were collected at different stages of the next generation. Parasites were released from erythrocytes with 0.15% saponin, and boiled in Laemmli buffer at 100°C for 5 min. Extracts were separated on 6%, 8%, or 10% SDS-polyacrylamide gels, and then electroblotted onto Immobilon-P transfer membranes (Millipore). Probing the membranes with specific antibodies followed the standard protocol. Primary antibodies for western blotting included mouse anti-ty1 (used at 1:1000; Sigma, SAB4800032), rabbit anti-aldolase (1:2000; Abcam, ab207494), and rabbit anti-HP1 (1:2000; a gift from Artur Scherf, Institut Pasteur) (38 (link)). Horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies, namely goat anti-mouse IgG (Abcam, ab97040) and goat anti-rabbit IgG (Abcam, ab205718), were applied at 1:5000. Blot signals were detected using the ECL western blotting kit (GE healthcare).

The molecular forms of MMP-8 were detected from mouth rinse samples by a modified enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) Western blotting kit according to protocols recommended by the manufacturer (GE Healthcare, Amersham, UK) as described earlier by Rautava et al.

The membranes were incubated overnight with monoclonal primary antibodies anti-MMP-8 [42 (link)] and then with horseradish peroxidase-linked secondary antibody (GE Healthcare, Buckinghamshire, UK) for 1 h. The membranes were washed 4 times in TBST between each step for 15 min. The proteins were visualized using the ECL system according to protocol. The recombinant human MMP-8 (100 ng, Calbiochem, Darnstadt, Germany) was used as a positive control.

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.
