Sonicate for 10–15 sec to complete cell lysis and shear DNA (to reduce sample viscosity). Immediately scrape the cells off the plate and transfer the extract to a microcentrifuge tube. Lyse cells by adding 1X SDS sample buffer (100 µl per well of 6-well plate or 500 µl for a 10 cm diameter plate). Aspirate media from cultures wash cells with 1X PBS aspirate. Treat cells by adding fresh media containing regulator for desired time. Protein Blotting A general protocol for sample preparation. Detection Reagent: SignalFire™ ECL Reagent ( #6883).ī. Secondary Antibody Conjugated to HRP: Anti-rabbit IgG, HRP-linked Antibody ( #7074). Pore size 0.2 µm is generally recommended. Blotting Membrane and Paper: ( #12369) This protocol has been optimized for nitrocellulose membranes. Blue Prestained Protein Marker, Broad Range (11-250 kDa): ( #59329). Biotinylated Protein Ladder Detection Pack: ( #7727). Primary Antibody Dilution Buffer: 1X TBST with 5% BSA for 20 ml, add 1.0 g BSA to 20 ml 1X TBST and mix well. Blocking Buffer: 1X TBST with 5% w/v nonfat dry milk for 150 ml, add 7.5 g nonfat dry milk to 150 ml 1X TBST and mix well. 10X Tris Buffered Saline with Tween ® 20 (TBST): ( #9997) To prepare 1 L 1X TBST: add 100 ml 10X TBST to 900 ml dH 2O, mix.
