Hippocampal tissues were mixed and homogenized with sample buffer (pH 7.6; 50 mM Tris-HCl, 10 mM dithiothreitol, 2% sodium dodecyl sulfate, 10% glycerol, and 0.2% bromophenol blue) on ice and boiled for 10 minutes. Thirty micrograms of protein was heated at 95°C for 5 minutes and then cooled on ice for 5 minutes. The protein was fractionated on a 4–12% SDS-PAGE Bis-Tris gel using an SDS-PAGE system (Bio-Rad, CA, USA). The proteins were transferred onto nitrocellulose membranes (Whatman, Kent, UK). Following blocking in 5% nonfat milk in 0.01% Tween PBS (PBST), the membranes were incubated with optimally diluted primary antibodies overnight at 4°C. Following washing with PBST, the membranes were incubated with the appropriate anti-mouse or anti-rabbit secondary antibody diluted 1:10,000 for 1 h at room temperature and visualized using the Odyssey Infrared Imaging System. The protein bands were quantitatively analyzed by Kodak Digital Science 1D software (Eastman Kodak Company, New Haven, CT, USA).

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.
