Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mitochondrial fractionation of NCI‐H1048 or NCI‐H69 monolayer and spheroid cells were extracted by using Mitochondria/Cytosol Fractionation Kit (ab65320, Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA) according to the manufacturer's protocol. Briefly, SCLC monolayer cells and spheroid cells were collected and washed with PBS. Cells were then resuspended in cytosol extraction buffer and incubated on ice for 10 minutes, followed by homogenization for non‐mitochondrial fractionation extraction. After centrifugation, mitochondrial components were collected and resuspended in mitochondrial extraction buffer. Both mitochondrial fractionations and non‐mitochondrial fractionations were used for immunoprecipitation analyses. Mitochondrial COX IV (1:1000; ab202554, Abcam) and GAPDH (1:10000; HRP‐60004, Proteintech, Wuhan, China) were used as loading control [37 (link)].

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.
