Bradford total protein assay

Manufactured by Bio-Rad
Sourced in United States

The Bradford total protein assay is a colorimetric assay used to measure the total protein concentration in a sample. The assay is based on the binding of the dye Coomassie Brilliant Blue G-250 to proteins, which results in a color change that can be detected and quantified spectrophotometrically. The Bradford assay provides a quick and simple method for determining the total protein content in a variety of sample types, including cell lysates, purified protein solutions, and biological fluids.

Quantitative analysis of bacterial protein expression

Bacteria were harvested from GC agar plates in PBS to achieve an OD600 = 1. The bacterial suspensions were normalized according to the total protein content, as determined using a Bradford total protein assay (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CI, USA), and equal amounts of total protein were separated using 12% SDS-PAGE. All samples were boiled in reducing sample buffer at 95°C for 5 min prior to electrophoresis. The proteins were transferred from the gel onto PVDF sheets and overlaid with primary antibodies: rabbit anti-PilT (1:10,000) and mouse anti-EF-Tu (1:2,000). Incubation with the primary antibodies was followed by two different fluorescent dye-conjugated secondary antibodies for the detection of PilT (goat anti rabbit IgG IRdye800CW (Li-COR)) (1:10,000) and for the detection of EF-Tu (goat anti-mouse IgG IRdye680 (Li-COR)) (1:20,000). The membrane was visualized and analyzed using an Odyssey IR scanner (Li-COR, Lincoln, NE, USA) at 700 and 800 nm. See the Figure legends for information concerning the number of repeats.

Exosomes were isolated as previously described by Thery et al.28 Briefly, cultures were centrifuged 10 min at 850 g. Supernatants were collected and centrifuged for 15 min at 3000 g to remove cell debris. Further, the supernatants were spun for 30 min at 10 000 g followed by filtration through 0.2-μm filter. Finally, the supernatants were ultracentrifuged for 70 min at 100 000 g to pellet the exosomes. The protein content of the exosome fraction was measured using Bradford total protein assay (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA).

ELISA for Bacterial Pilus Antibody Detection

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The ELISA was performed as described previously [42 (link)]. Briefly, the wells of a 96-well microtiter plate were coated with 50 μl of either a bacterial suspension in PBS (OD600 = 0.005) or diluted whole bacterial protein extracts. To prepare whole bacterial protein extracts, one ml of a bacterial suspension at OD600 = 0.32 in PBS was mixed with 100 μl of trichloroacetic acid, followed by a 15 min incubation on ice. After a 5 min centrifugation at 20,000× g, the pellet was dissolved in PBS and diluted before being loaded into a 96-well plate. Equal loading was determined using a Bradford total protein assay (Bio-Rad). The samples were allowed to adhere for 2 h and blocked with 5% bovine serum albumin (BSA) for 2 h at room temperature. The samples were incubated for 1 h at 37°C and 5% CO2 with an anti-FAM20 pilus antibody (1:5,000) [38 (link)] and subsequently incubated with an HRP-conjugated anti-rabbit antibody (1:5,000) for another hour at 37°C. HRP was detected using 3, 3’, 5, 5’-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), and the reaction was stopped using 1 M HCl. The absorbance at OD450 was read using a microplate reader. The experiment was performed twice in triplicate.

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.
