What is the purpose of blocking the Western Blot membrane? A) To cover the membrane with a solution of proteins that serve as a substrate for secondary antibody binding B) To maintain target proteins in their native, non-denatured state C) To cover the membrane with a solution of proteins in order to reduce non-specific binding of the antibody to the membrane D) To enhance non-specific background staining through interactions with the proteins present in the blocking solution
Cell line A was cultured in the absence and presence of KB9520 or PPT. You then lyse the cells and fractionate them, generating membrane, cytosolic and nuclear protein fractions of the whole cell lysate. Western blots were then run using antibodies against ER (alpha) and ER (beta) for each treatment, and include different lanes for the membrane, cytosolic and nuclear protein fractions. Draw the expected results for these western blots and briefly discuss the expected differences.
Describe what each of the 12 bands on your Western blot should have been. Remember, the 12 bands will be 4 conditions x 3 proteins (phospho-S6, phospho-AMPK, tubulin). Please describe the relative density of each band compared to the control (for example, how dense will phospho-S6 be in each of the three experimental conditions compared to the control condition?). For each band, provide a well-reasoned rationale for your anticipated result. Give the reason why cell signaling would produce each result in each condition.
Analyzing Cloned Sequences A base change (A to T) is the mutational event that created the mutant sickle cell anemia allele of beta globin. This mutation destroys an MstII restriction site normally present in the beta globin gene. This difference between the normal allele and the mutant allele can be detected with Southern blotting. Using a labeled beta globin gene as a probe, what differences would you expect to see for a Southern blot of the normal beta globin gene and the mutant sickle cell gene?
In the Western blot shown here, proteins were isolated from redblood cells and muscle cells from two different individuals. Oneindividual was unaffected, and the other suffered from a diseaseknown as thalassemia, which involves a defect in hemoglobin. Theblot was exposed to an antibody that recognizes β globin, whichis one of the polypeptides that constitute hemoglobin. Equal totalamounts of cellular proteins were added to each lane. Explain these results.
You are investigating the activity of different cadherins in cells. You use recombinant DNA technology to express GFP-E-cadherin (green) in some L-cells (which do not normally contain cadherin) and YFP-P-cadherin (yellow) in other L-cells. Explain results you expect in three cultures containing: (1) only cells expressing GFP-E-cadherin, (2) only cells expressing YFP-P-cadherin, and (3) a mixture of GFP-E-cadherin-expressing and YFP-P-cadherin-expressing cells. Also predict how (a) knocking down the ability of the cells to synthesize fibronectin (FN) or (b) adding EGTA, which depletes free Ca2+ concentration in the culture medium, might affect the results.
Are the bands indicated in Step 6 (SDS-PAGE) likely visualized by western blot or by a general protein stain (such as Coomassie or silver)?
How can we easily determine VEGF expression in a western blot experiment? By using fluorescent microscopy to view its transport into the cell By using a primary antibody targeting VEGF By adding purified VEGFR to an SDS polyacrylamide gel By doing a mass spectrometry analysis
TBS and TBST are used in the Western blots at different steps.1. What is the difference between TBS and TBST and why is that extra “T” in TBST helpful for washing steps of the Western blot? (and ELISA…) Why does that extra “T” need to be removed before the detection step?For the transfer step of the Western Blot, why would we soak the membrane in transfer buffer before transfer?2. If you forgot this step, how do you think your results would be affected?
I need to make an antibody for the extracellular portion of the Notch receptor. I have made S35 labelled Delta and my boss has given me an antibody that recognizes Delta and is conjugated to a chromophore that gives off light. Place the following statements in order beginning with labeling. HINT: Labeling, protein enrichment, immune response, making monoclonal cell lines, antigen screening of monoclonal cell lines. A) Hybridoma cells are selected by plating them in HAT buffer. B) Using direct ELISA you coat individual tissue culture wells/dishes with a single monoclonal antibody. C) I detect my protein fraction using a geiger counter. D) You add a solution containing radiolabeled Notch extracellular domain to the wells. E) You only keep monoclonal hybridoma cell lines that give light. The other cell lines you throw away. You have your antibody! F) I centrifuge my homogenate in a sugar or salt gradient. G) I inject a mouse with my protein, giving booster shoots every week. H)…
Does endogenous contamination/component in crude extracted protein make interfere to transfer protein on PVDF membrane for western blot?
can you please help me out with this ? Mutations in the IL2RG gene cause approximately 30 percent of severe combined immunodeficiency disorder (SCID) cases in humans. These mutations result in alterations to a protein component of cytokine receptors that are essential for proper development of the immune system. The IL2RG gene is composed of eight exons and contains upstream and downstream sequences that are necessary for proper transcription and translation. Below are some of the mutations observed. For each, explain its likely influence on the IL2RG gene product (assume its length to be 375 amino acids). Nonsense mutation in a coding region Insertion in Exon 1, causing frameshift Insertion in Exon 7, causing frameshift Missense mutation Deletion in Exon 2, causing frameshift Deletion in Exon 2, in frame (g) Large deletion covering Exons 2 and 3
