20190425: WB CNTN1 (different tissues and cells) – precast gel

Objective: try to detect CNTN1 in neuroblastoma cells (indiferentiated) using a higher amount of protein. Try a precast gel 4-15%.

Samples/wells:

  1. Marker
  2. HTB11 cells (23.04.19): 22,5 ul + 7,5 ul laemmli 4x
  3. neuroblastoma neurons -HTB11 dif.- (27.03.19): 22,5 ul + 7,5 ul laemmli 4x
  4. swine sciatic nerve (26.03.19): 22,5 ul + 7,5 ul laemmli 4x
  5. mouse brain RIPA (11.04.19): 22,5 ul + 7,5 ul laemmli 4x
  6. Recombinant protein CNTN1: 8 ul + 14,5 ul RIPA + 7,5 ul laemmli 4x

Protocol:

  • We have used a precast gel (4-15% achrylamide) with 10 wells (Bio-Rad)
  • Warm the samples at 96ºC for 5 minutes
  • Load samples in the wells (30ul per well)
  • Run with running buffer 1x at 20 – 40mA
  • Transfer to a PVDF membrane with Transblot Turbo (using the commercial buffer) –> mixed proteins protocol
  • Blotting: wash the membrane with water.
    • Blocking: blocking buffer Casein – TBS 1:1 1h
    • Primary antibodies (diluted in Casein-TBS 1:1) –> overnight at 4ºC:
      • Ac anti-CNTN1 (rabbit) 1/200
      • Ac anti-Bactin (mouse) 1/20000
    • Wash with TBS-tween0’1% (3×5′)
    • Secondary antibodies GAR800 + GAM800 1/7500 (diluted in Casein-TBS tween0’1%): 1h at RT
    • Wash with TBS-tween0’1% 1x (2×5′)
    • Wash with TBS 1x (1×5′)
    • Read with Odyssey equipment

RESULT:

Los geles precast de Bio-Rad son más delgados (0’75) que los que usamos habitualmente (1,5). Por eso las proteínas se transfieren mejor, y hemos podido detectar la CNTN1 en las células HTB11 (diferenciadas e indiferenciadas).

Por otro lado, no hemos podido detectar la CNTN1 en el lisado de nervio ciático de cerdo. Quizás el Ac anti-CNTN1 que hemos usado no es capaz de detectar la CNTN1 del cerdo.
