    The samples were boiled for 3 minutes and centrifuged for 20 seconds. A polyacrylamide gel was assembled and the samples were loaded into it. The gel ran for approximately 45 minutes at 160 V. A western blot analysis was done in order to examine the Erk1/2 phosphorylation of the NIH3T3 cells. Three pieces of Whatman paper were wet in transfer buffer and placed on the anode plate. A wet PVDF membrane was placed on top of the Whatman paper. The gel was removed from holder and the stacking gel was removed. Forceps were used to place the gel onto the wet membrane and another Whatman paper was placed on top of the. The cathode plate was placed and started the transfer. Then the membrane was placed in TBST containing 5% milk for 60 minute while shaking. The membrane was rinsed twice with TBST (no milk) and placed in the primary antibody. The membrane was washed three times for two minutes…

    Introduction: Gel electrophoresis is an important molecular biology tool: it enables us to study DNA. It can be used to determine the sequence of nitrogen bases, the size of an insertion or deletion, or the presence of a point mutation; it can also be used to distinguish between variable sized alleles at a single locus and to assess the quality and quantity of DNA present in a sample. Gel electrophoresis is a method of separating chemical compounds and molecules by their size and charge. The substances being separated are placed in wells in an agarose gel and subjected to an electrical field. Negatively charged molecules move towards the positive anode, and positively charged molecules move towards the negative anode. Longer or larger molecules have difficulty traveling through the gel; they become entangled in the gel matrix. Shorter or smaller molecules migrate through the agarose matrix faster and thus travel farther in a given time period. Similar sized fragments travel at relatively the same speed and form a tight "band" when stained.…

    Hybridization techniques are widely used to identify recombinants. This is based on the ability of nucleic acids hybridize with complementary DNA. The transformed cells are transferred on to a nitrocellulose membrane which is subjected to cell lysis. The double stranded DNA is converted to single stranded DNA and immobilized on the membrane. Then it is treated with radiolabelled probes complementary to target DNA. If the desired DNA is present, the probes will be hybridized which can be detected by autoradiography.…

    The primary antibody recognizes a specific amino-acid sequence of a particular protein. In this case, the antibody was anti-cow albumin. Then, it was incubated at 37°C for 30 minutes. After incubated, it was rinsed with TBS +NP 40 1x for 4 times. Each time was 5 minutes. This step was to wash the unbound antibodies. Then, it was rinsed two times with TBS 1x for 5 minutes to remove the soap. The blot was then developed using the color development. 7mL of chlornaptol and 1μL H2O2 was measured and added into the nitrocellulose and it was allowed to sit for 10-15 minutes for the color to develop. Then, the light purple color was presented. The picture was taken and recoded in…

    It was achieved by keeping the protein concentration fixed (1µM) and by varying the concentration of total accessible lipids (0.07 to 2250 µM). After 15 min of incubation at room temp., the 100 µl samples were centrifuged at 220000 x g for 1 h at 4C using a Beckman Coulter’s TLA 100 rotor. At stop, the top 80 µL was considered as supernatant (S) and the remaining 20 µL added with 60 µL (Buffer A) as pellet (P). Thus obtained volumes were analyzed on a 10% SDS-PAGE and stained using Coomassie blue for quantification by Image J (National Institutes of Health, MD). Compensating the dilution of the pellet, the true Intensity of the pellet will be, IPellet = Ip – 0.25xIS, while IP & IS being experimental values obtained for pellet and supernatant, respectively. From this, affinity constants for all the proteins were calculated using the Eq. 2, where protein bound to the LUVs, [Protein]B = IPellet/(IP+IS) and K is the association constant or the reciprocal of apparent dissociation constant,…

    In Vitro Diagnostics (IVD) provide critical information about the physiological and pathological state of body for effective health and drug/therapy monitoring. In 2011, North America and Europe occupied majority share of the in vitro diagnostics market due to the high healthcare expenditure and structured association of clinical laboratories. On the other hand, market players in the in vitro diagnostics market are keen to accelerate their growth by capitalizing on unmet opportunities present in the emerging economies. Although clinical chemistry IVDs led the market in 2011 across the US, India, and China market, the growth in the molecular diagnostics segment is forecasted owing to their efficacy in the early detection of the disease.…
