Preparation of cell lysates 

Collect cells （confluent T-25） by trypsinization and spin. 
Lyse the pellet with 100 µl lysis buffer on ice for 10 min. 
For 500,000 cells, lyse with 20 µl. 
Spin at 14,000 rpm （16,000 g） in an Eppendorf microfuge for 10 min at 4°C. 
Transfer the supernatant to a new tube and discard the pellet. 
Determine the protein concentration （Bradford assay, A280, or BCA） 
（We use the Bradford assay from Bio-Rad.） 
Take x µl （= y µg protein） and mix with x µl of 2x sample buffer. 
Boil for 5 min. 
Cool at RT for 5 min. 
Flash spin to bring down condensation prior to loading gel. 

B. Polyacrylamide gel （14.5 cm x 16.5 cm） 

Agarose plug: 
1% agarose dissolved in 1x Resolving gel buffer. 
（I make 50 ml, keep melting it as I need it, and re-adding water to maintain agarose conc.） 
Resolving gel: 24 ml of a 9% gel 
5.4 ml 40% acrylamide/bisacrylamide （29:1 mix） 
3 ml 8x Resolving gel buffer 
15.6 ml water 
12 µl TEMED 
60 µl 20% ammonium persulfate 
Stacking gel: 8 ml 
1 ml 40% acrylamide/bisacrylamide （29:1 mix） 
2 ml 4x Stacking gel buffer 
5 ml water 
8 µl TEMED 
21.6 µl 20% ammonium persulfate 

C. Preparation of gel 

Assemble the glass plates and spacers （1.5 mm thick）. 
Pour an agarose plug （1-2 mm）. 
Pour the running gel to about 1 cm below the wells of the comb （~20 ml）. 
Seal with 1 ml water-saturated 1-butanol. 
（Can stop here and leave gel as is overnight if you want.） 
When gel has set, pour off the butanol and rinse with deionized water. 
Pour the stacking gel （~5 ml） and insert the comb immediay. 
When the stacking gel has set, place in gel rig and immerse in buffer. 
Prior to running the gel, flush the wells out thoroughly with running buffer. 

D. Running the gel 

After flash spinning the samples, load into the wells. 
Be sure to use markers. 
We use 15 µl Bio-Rad Kaleidoscope Prestained Standards #161-0324 directly. 
Run with constant current （35 - 37 mA with voltage set at > 300 V）. 
Usual running time is about 2.5 hr. 

E. Using precast gels （Ready Gels from Bio-Rad）: 
絲裂原活化蛋白激酶4抗體相關(guān)信息 Anti-MAPK4（Mitogen-activated protein kinase 4） 
Assemble gel in gel rig. 
Prepare protein samples （10 µg will suffice）. 
Use 5 µl of Kaleidoscope standard. 
Run at 200 V （constant voltage） for 30 min. 

F. Preparation of membrane 

Cut a piece of PVDF membrane （Millipore Immobion-P #*H 000 10）. 
Wet for about 30 min in methanol on a rocker at room temp. 
Remove methanol and add 1x Blotting buffer until ready to use. 

G. Membrane transfer 

Assemble "sandwich" for Bio-Rad's Transblot. 
Prewet the sponges, filter papers （slightly bigger than gel） in 1x Blotting buffer.
Sponge - filter paper - gel - membrane - filter paper - sponge 
Transfer for 1 hr at 1 amp at 4°C on a stir plate. 
Bigger proteins might take longer to transfer. 
For the Mini-Transblot, it's 100 V for 1 hr with the cold pack and prechilled buffer. 
When finished, immerse membrane in Blocking buffer and block overnight. 

H. Antibodies and detection 

Incubate with primary antibody diluted in Blocking buffer for 60 min at room temp. 
Wash 3 x 10 min with 0.05% Tween 20 in PBS. 
Incubate with secondary antibody diluted in Blocking buffer for 45 min at room temp. 
Wash 3 x 10 min with 0.05% Tween 20 in PBS. 
Detect with Amersham ECL kit （RPN 2106）. 

I. Stripping blot 

Rinse blot off with 0.05% Tween 20 in PBS. 
Put blot into Kapak bag cut to slightly bigger size than blot. 
Add about 5 to 10 ml Stripping buffer. 
Remove as much air as possible and seal bag. 
Immerse into 80°C water bath and incubate for 20 min. 
Rinse blot off with 0.05% Tween 20 in PBS. 
Block for about 1 hr with 5% BSA/Tween 20, or overnight with 3% BSA/Tween 20.
