Need to make sample buffer mix for the other 9 lanes (protein samples and dummy lanes). Mastermix for sample buffer Mix MM, add 6ul to each sample/ ' 1 lane 9 lanes (x10) 4x Loading Buffer 5 50 1M DTT 1 10 Protein/water 14 heat at 100degC for 5 mins, cool in rack at RT Prep gel Gel/ Buffer NuPAGE 4-12% BisTris NuPAGE® MOPS SDS Running Buffer (20%MOPS diluted in DI water from sink) remove the strip from the gel, put premade gel into box with the open part facing the outer chamber, fill inner chamber to cover the comb, outer chamber to cover the bottom of the gel. Add 500ul antioxidant to the inner chamber remove the comb load samples and ladder (5ul ladder) ladder in lanes 1 and 9 might have a bit less than 5ul run gel for 1 hour at 120V (until lowest dye band ran just past the third ridge in gel box) Transfer and blocking following this protocol. Remove the gel from the box, rinse with DI water, scrape the exposed gel slit on the bottom to get all the gel from that spot. Rinse the gel gunk away. Crack the plastic apart but don't pull it apart until the plastic is unstuck. With the gel submerged in a tupperware filled with DI water, separate the plastic pieces. Pay attention to which plastic part the gel is sticking to. Pay attention to the direction of your gel. Get the gel floating in the DI water. Transfer the gel to nitrocellulose paper using the transblot machine. Make sure to keep the orientation. list biorad 1 minigel mixed mw run A-run Should have no bands in the gel and bands on the nicrocellulose. Rinse the nitrocellulose in DI water. Move the nitrocellulose to a smaller dish. Pour Ponceau stain over to just cover it. Orbital shake gently for 5-10 minutes. Rinse the Ponceau in the sink in DI water until the background is white. Image the nitrocellulose on the syngene PXi machine. Remove the UV box and replace with the black background piece. Blots>visible blot>Ponceau red> -> or used saved protocols "ponceau stain". Keep nitrocellulose in water until time to image. Keep water nearby so you can quickly transfer. Need to make sure it doesn't dry out. Take an image. Cut the nitrocellulose to separate the pieces that will be bound with different antibodies. add notches to one corner so you remember the orientation To block the nitrocellulose, move to a new dish and pour 5% BSA, 1% tween, 1% PBS over. Ok to stack the nitrocellulose. Keep still at RT for one hour (went about 1.5hours) Western primary stain Make or thaw more blocking buffer (5% BSA, 1%PBS, 1% tween, bring to volume with DI water from tap). Make parafilm pouches! Cut a strip of parafilm that can be folded over to make a pouch just a few millimeters wider than each membrane. Lay the membrane in the unmade pouch and make the pouch around the membrane by smooshing double-folded parafilm edges with the spatula tool. leave the top open, pipette in 1mL blocking buffer into the pouch, set aside and watch for leaks. Make the other pouches the same way. Dilute the antibodies need to look up how much i added, v imp! 1mL blocking buffer. Confirm that none of the pouches have leaked. Add the antibodies to the appropriate pouches, LABEL each pouch with the antibody. Seal the tops, rotate at 4degC overnight.
