Quantification of immunoblots was performed by densitometric analysis using the
Image J software or the LI-COR Biosciences
infrared imager software and normalized to loading control (actin or tubulin, as indicated). The
p-values were determined by two-tailed Student’s t-test.
Aggregates were counted in at least 200 cells per slide (with the observer blinded to their identity), and percentage was calculated relative to control conditions.
p-values were determined by unpaired two-tailed Student’s t-test.
All experiments were done at least three times in triplicate and a representative blot or graph from a triplicate experiment is shown unless indicated.
