Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total protein was extracted from nasal mucosa using RIPA lysis buffer and PMSF. Protein concentration was determined using the Bicinchoninic acid (BCA) Protein Assay kit (Solarbio, Beijing, China). Equal amount of protein (10–20 µg) from each sample was isolated using SDS-PAGE (8%, 12%, and 15% gel) and transferred to the polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes. After blocking with 5% nonfat milk for 1 h at room temperature, the membranes were incubated with primary antibodies at 4°C overnight, followed by the incubation of horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated secondary antibodies (1:3,000, Solarbio) for 1 h at 37°C. Subsequently, the membranes were visualized with electrochemiluminescence (Solarbio) for luminescence generation. GAPDH served as inner control for normalization. The primary antibodies used in present study were: the nucleotide binding and oligomerization domain-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3, 1:1,000, ABclonal, Wuhan, China), apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a caspase-recruitment domain (ASC, 1:1,000, ABclonal), cleaved caspase-1 (1:500, ABclonal), IL-1β (1:1,000, ABclonal), TLR4 (1:1,000, ABclonal), MyD88 (1:1,000, ABclonal), p65/p-p65 (Ser536) (1:1,000, Affinity, Cincinnati, OH, USA), GAPDH (1:10,000, Proteintech, Wuhan, China), and Histone H3 (1:1,000, GeneTex, San Antonio, TX, 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.
