The antibodies used to detect H3, H2B, Spt6, Spt16, Pob3, TAG, HA, Myc, and G6DPH were as follows: anti-H3 (1:30,000, described in [55 (link)] 1), anti-H2B (1:2500, Active Motif), anti-Spt6 (1:1000, gift from Tim Formosa), anti-Spt16 (1:500, gift from Tim Formosa), anti-Pob3 (1:2000, gift from Tim Formosa), anti-TAP (1:2000, Sigma), anti-HA (1:2000, Santa Cruz), anti-Myc (1:1000, Santa Cruz), and anti-GAPDH (1:50,000, Sigma). After incubation with HRP-conjugated IgG or secondary antibody (1:5000; GE Healthcare), the immunoreactive proteins were visualized by enhanced chemiluminescence detection (Perkin-Elmer) using a Kodak image station 440CF. Protein levels were calculated by measuring their signal intensities in these Western blots using Kodak ID 3.6 software and normalizing these values to those obtained for the G6PDH control.

Hippocampi from control and XR9576-treated mice were lysed in buffer containing 150 mM NaCl, 50 mM Tris, 0.5% deoxycholic acid, 1% Triton X-100, 0.1% SDS, 2.5 mM EDTA, and broad spectrum protease inhibitors. Protein concentration was determined in each sample using a Micro BCA Protein Assay kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific). 15 µg of protein for each sample was used for SDS-PAGE using 4–12% Bis-Tris gels with MES running buffer (Life Technologies). Rabbit polyclonal anti-LRP1 antibody was produced in G. Bu’s laboratory (Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, FL), followed by goat anti–rabbit HRP (Santa Cruz Biotechnology). As a loading control, blots were stripped and reprobed with mouse anti-GAPDH (Sigma-Aldrich) and sheep anti–mouse peroxidase (GE Life Sciences). Blots were imaged on a ImageStation 440CF (Kodak) and bands quantified using 1D image analysis software (Kodak). LRP1 bands were normalized to GAPDH bands, and then for each gel the control-treated and XR9576-treated tissues were normalized to the mean of control bands intensity. LRP1 protein levels were compared between groups by unpaired Student’s t test.

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.
