Total protein extracts were prepared from sorted DP T thymocyte samples and Western blotting analysis was conducted, as previously described (43 (link)), using anti-p21 antibody (C-19, sc-397, Santa Cruz), and anti-Caspase-3 or anti-cleaved Caspase-3 antibody (#9665 and #9661, respectively, both from Cell signaling). Anti-β-actin antibody (Sigma-Aldrich), was used to normalize protein expression levels. Densitometric analysis was performed using ImageStudio software (LI-COR Biosciences).
