Mouse Liver Whole Tissue Lysate (Adult Whole Normal)

Mouse

SDS-PAGE, Western Blot

This product has been tested by SDS-PAGE. Ready-to-use lysates are especially prepared as positive controls for separation by SDS-PAGE and subsequent western blot analysis. Lysates are prepared in denaturing buffer WITHOUT dissociating agents (i.e. no 2-mercaptoethanol or dithiothreitol has been added). Heat lysate to 95C for 5 minutes and rapidly cool. If dissociating conditions are desired, add reducing agent prior to heating. The recommended loading volume per lane is 10-20 ul depending on the size format of your gel.

Tissue

Adult

Normal

Whole

Tissues were washed exhaustively with PBS to remove blood and other debris. A lysate was prepared by homogenizing the tissue and washing the cells in cold PBS. Washed cells were incubated at 4C in modified RIPA buffer containing 150 mM sodium chloride, 50 mM Tris Cl, pH 7.4, 1 mM EDTA, 1.0% NP-40, 0.5% sodium deoxycholic acid and 0.1% SDS to lyse the cells. Protein integrity is ensured using a cocktail of protease inhibitors with broad specificity for the inhibition of aspartic, cysteine, and serine proteases as well as aminopeptidases (0.1 mM AEBSF HCl, 0.08 uM Aprotinin, 5 uM Bestatin, 1.5 uM E-64, 2 uM Leupeptin Hemisulfate and 1 uM Pepstatin A). The following phosphatase inhibitors were also added: 1 mM NaF and 1 mM Na3VO4. Cell debris was removed by centrifugation and membrane filtration. Protein concentration was determined by Lowry assay using a commercially available kit. The protein concentration was adjusted to 2 mg/ml and then an equal volume of 2X SDS-PAGE sample buffer was added.
