The MCF-7 and HCT-116 cells were lysed in ice-cold NP40 lysis buffer containing protease cocktail-inhibitor (Sigma-Aldrich). The protein concentrations were calculated using the Bradford method (Bio-Rad). Then, 30 μg protein were loaded and separated by 12% SDS-PAGE and then blotted onto a nitrocellulose membrane (Bio-Rad). The membrane was then blocked with 5% skimmed milk powder, then washed with Tris-buffered saline, 0.1% Tween 20 (TBST), and incubated at 4 °C overnight with primary IgG-unlabeled antibodies, anti-survivin (EPR2675) (ab134170); anti-CDK1 (A17) (ab18) and anti–cyclinB (Y106) (ab32053), purchased from Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA. Secondary antibodies (antimouse and antirabbit; Cell Signaling Technology) were reacted for one hour with the membrane at 1:1000 dilutions. Chemiluminescence (Thermo Fisher Scientific) was used to detect the bands and Image Lab software (ChemiDoc Touch Gel and Western blot imaging system; Bio-Rad) was used to quantify the band-density; β-actin was used as a normalization control.

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.
