stimulated with 100 ng/mL human IFN-β for 48 h, and then incubated with 10 µM MG132 (Sigma) for 4 h before harvest. HeLa cells were treated with 10 µM MG132 for 30 min and then stimulated with 10 ng/mL TNF-α for 15 min at 37°C. Cells were harvested and treated as previously described [46 (link)]. The 20 µL reaction volumes contained 200 nM DUBs and 10 µg of total lysate with 25 mM DTT; reactions were terminated by heating with SDS loading buffer and analysed using SDS-PAGE and western blotting with the indicated antibodies. Antibodies used in this study were anti-ubiquitin (P4D1, Santa Cruz Biotech), anti-ISG15 (Bioswamp), anti-His (Proteintech), anti-K48-ubiquitin (Boster), goat anti-rabbit secondary antibodies (Proteintech), and goat anti-mouse IgG light-chain secondary antibodies (Proteintech). Images were captured with an Amersham Imager 600 (GE Healthcare) imaging system.

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.
