For analysis of the levels of expression of total and phosphorylated SAMHD1 in siRNA-transfected iDCs or MDMs, as well as in MDM-derived MGCs, cells (106) were lysed in 100 μl of reducing Laemmli sample buffer (2×) supplemented with PhosSTOP (phosphatase inhibitor cocktail tablets; Sigma-Aldrich) and cOmplete (EDTA-free protease inhibitor cocktail; Sigma-Aldrich) and then boiled at 96°C for 10 min. Cell lysates were then resolved by SDS-PAGE as described previously (64 (link)) and analyzed by Western blotting using anti-SAMHD1 (Abcam; ab67820), anti-phospho-SAMHD1 (Cell Signaling; catalog no. 89930), anti-HIV-1 p24 (Abcam; ab9071), and anti-β-actin (Sigma-Aldrich; clone AC-15) antibodies.
