Autophagy Assays (LC3B immunofluorescence, LC3B western blot, acridine orange assay)
Autophagy is a dynamic cellular event that is involved in the degradation of long lived proteins and organelles in cells. Biochemical methods such as western blot to measure autophagic proteins have been increasingly used in autophagy studies because it ...

Imported intraocular gnathostomiasis with subretinal tracks confirmed by western blot assay. [PDF]
We report a case of intraocular gnathostomiasis diagnosed by western blot assay in a patient with subretinal tracks. A 15-year-old male patient complained of blurred vision in the right eye, lasting for 2 weeks. Eight months earlier, he had traveled to Vietnam for 1 week and ate raw wild boar meat and lobster. His best-corrected visual acuity was 20/20

A Western Blot and Immunoprecipitation Assay to Verify Antibody Specificity [PDF]
Life scientists are raising awareness of the problem of irreproducible data in basic research (1) (2). Part of the crisis of irreproducibility has been blamed on antibodies (3), and from this standpoint, an equal push to bring awareness to antibody ...

Comparisons of ELISA and Western blot assays for detection of autophagy flux [PDF]
We analyzed autophagy/mitophagy flux in vitro (C2C12 myotubes) and in vivo (mouse skeletal muscle) following the treatments of autophagy inducers (starvation, rapamycin) and a mitophagy inducer (carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone, CCCP) using two immunodetection methods, ELISA and Western blotting, and compared their working range, accuracy, and ...

BPTF promotes tumor growth and predicts poor prognosis in lung adenocarcinomas. [PDF]
BPTF, a subunit of NURF, is well known to be involved in the development of eukaryotic cell, but little is known about its roles in cancers, especially in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Kinase Activity-Tagged Western Blotting Assay [PDF]
Determining cellular activities of protein kinases is a fundamental step for characterizing pathophysiological cell signaling pathways. Here, we optimized a nonradioactive method that detects protein kinases in tissues or cells after separation by SDS-PAGE and transfer onto polyvinylidene fluoride membranes.

The guideline for western blotting assay
AbstractWestern blotting is a technique for detecting protein developed based on protein electrophoresis separation and antigen‐antibody detection. It combines the high resolution of SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with the specificity of antigen‐antibody reaction.

Nuclear factor-kappa B inhibition can enhance apoptosis of differentiated thyroid cancer cells induced by 131I. [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate changes of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) during radioiodine 131 ((131)I) therapy and whether NF-κB inhibition could enhance (131)I-induced apoptosis in differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) cells in a synergistic manner.
