Application Notes
This product is intended for use as a positive control in Western Blot. Overexpression of the target protein was confirmed using an antibody to DDK (FLAG) epitope tag (NBP1-71705) present on the protein construct.
Each vial of cell lysate contains 100ug of total protein which should be sufficient for 20-50 reactions. Depending on over-expression level, antibody affinity and detection system, some lysates can go as low as 0.1 ug per load. We recommend starting with 5ug of cell lysate. Add an equal amount of cell lysate and 2X SDS Sample buffer and boil the SDS samples for 10 minutes before loading.

Background: ASC
In regard to immune and inflammatory response, ASC/TMS1 is involved in inflammasome function (3-4). The inflammasome is a multiprotein complex that responds to cellular stress or pathogens and activates inflammatory responses. Specifically, ASC/TMS1 helps assemble the NLRP3 inflammasome complex which then activates caspase-1, followed by stimulation of proinflammatory cytokines including IL-1b and IL-18 (3-4). In terms of the role in regulating apoptosis, multiple studies have revealed that the ASC/TMS1 gene is hypermethylated in many cancers including breast, lung, glioblastomas, and melanomas (2-5). The increased methylation results in decreased gene expression, or silencing, allowing those cancer cells to escape apoptosis (2-5).

HEK293T cells in 10-cm dishes were transiently transfected with a non-lipid polymer transfection reagent specially designed and manufactured for large volume DNA transfection. Transfected cells were cultured for 48hrs before collection. The cells were lysed in modified RIPA buffer (25mM Tris-HCl pH7.6, 150mM NaCl, 1% NP-40, 1mM EDTA, 1xProteinase inhibitor cocktail mix, 1mM PMSF and 1mM Na3VO4, and then centrifuged to clarify the lysate. Protein concentration was measured by BCA protein assay kit.
This product is for research use only and is not approved for use in humans or in clinical diagnosis. Lysates are guaranteed for 6 months from date of receipt.
