Protein was extracted, quantified, and probed with antibodies, as described.40 (link) Whole cell lysates were extracted using RIPA buffer (Cell Signaling). Antibodies used included p53 (Cell Signaling, Danvers, MA), Mdm2 (EMD Millipore, Billerica, MA), WIP1 (Bethyl, Montgomery, TX), and β-actin (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO). Secondary antibodies Alexa Fluor 680 goat anti-mouse IgG (Life Technologies) or IRDye 800 goat anti-rabbit IgG (Rockland, Gilbertsville, PA) were used at a dilution of 1:5,000. Immunoblots were imaged as previously described.29 (link)
