Cell extracts were prepared using 2x sample buffer [120 mM Tris-HCl (pH 6.8), 60 mM SDS, 100 mM DTT, 1.75% glycerol, 0.1% bromophenol blue] supplemented with 5 mM MgCl2 and 5 U/ml benzonase. Samples were denatured by heating to 95°C for 5 min. Proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE and transferred to a polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane that was blocked by incubation in 5% skim milk-containing PBS-0.05% Tween 20, pH 7.4 (PBST) for 1 h at room temperature (RT). The membrane was incubated with a primary antibody in 1% skim milk-containing PBST for either 1 h at RT or overnight at 4°C and subsequently incubated with a secondary antibody conjugated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) for 1 h at RT. Bound secondary antibodies were detected using the Western Lightning Plus-ECL reagent (PerkinElmer) and signals were visualized by using the Intas ChemoCam Imager 3.2 (Intas).

Membranes were incubated with primary antibodies, diluted in 3% BSA in PBS, for 1h and washed three times for 10 min each with PBS-T. Horse radish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated secondary antibodies were diluted in 5% milk in PBS-T and membranes were incubated for 1h at RT. After washing three times with PBS-T for 10 min each, membranes were developed using the Western Lightning Plus-ECL reagent (Perkin Elmer: NEL105001EA). Signals were visualized using a ChemoCam Imager 3.2 (Intas Science Imaging Instruments GmbH, Göttingen, Germany). Signals were quantified using the ImageJ (FiJi) software package (Schindelin et al., 2012 (link)). Values obtained for DENV or ZIKV NS1, NS4B or NS5 were normalized to the one obtained for NS3 of the respective virus. Same amount of lysate (based on equal cell numbers) was loaded onto each lane of the gel.

Whole-cell lysates were prepared, separated in 11% SDS-PAGE gels, and blotted on Immobilon-PVDF membrane (Merck Millipore, Billerica, MA) as previously described [11] (link). Membranes were incubated with antibodies against p53 (DO-7, BD Biosciences, Franklin Lakes, NJ; 1:1500), p21 (CP36/CP74, Merck Millipore, Billerica, MA; 1:1000), or GAPDH (14C10, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA; 1:3000). Secondary HRP-conjugated antibodies (Goat-anti mouse IgG and Goat-anti rabbit IgG, Merck Millipore, Billerica, MA; each 1:5000) and ECL chemiluminescent substrate were used for visualization at a ChemoCam Imager 3.2 (INTAS, Göttingen, Germany). Band densities were quantified using QuantityOne 4.6.7 (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA). For control, always two values were used to reduce the overall scatter of the data. Densities of p53 and p21 bands were normalized to the expression of the housekeeping protein GAPDH and then corrected for the intensity of the total blot.

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.
