Western blots were carried out as previously described [16 (link)]. Immunostaining was carried out using a goat monoclonal antibodies against phospho-Akt (S473) (Cell Signaling #9271) and actin (1/1000, Cell signaling) and a secondary polyclonal mouse anti-goat antibody HRP conjugated (1/2000, cell signaling). Blots were developed using HRP and chemiluminescent peroxidase substrate (#CPS1120, Sigma). Data were collected using Geliance CCD camera (Perkin Elmer), and analyzed using ImageJ software (NIH).
