<b>Western Blot</b> Extracts of PC12 cells unstimulated (-) or stimulated with 20 ng/mL NGF for 20 minutes (+) were resolved by SDS-PAGE on a 10% Tris-glycine gel and transferred to nitrocellulose. The membrane was blocked with a 5% BSA-TBST buffer overnight at 4°C, then incubated with 0.5 μg/mL ERK1&2 antibody for two hours at room temperature in a 3% BSA-TBST buffer. After washing, the membrane was incubated with goat F(ab')2 anti-rabbit IgG alkaline phosphatase and signals were detected using the Tropix WesternStarTM method. The data show that the ERK1&2 antibody allows the total amount of ERK1&2 to be measured (non-phoshphorylated as well as phosphorylated). The resulting signals serve as useful controls in assessing the degree of up-regulation as detected using an antibody to the dually phosphorylated (active) form of ERK1&2.

ProtocolsWestern Blotting Procedure

1. Lyse approximately 10e7 cells in 0.5 mL of ice cold Cell Lysis Buffer (formulation provided below). This buffer, a modified RIPA buffer, is suitable for recovery of most proteins, including membrane receptors, cytoskeletal-associated proteins, and soluble proteins. Other cell lysis buffer formulations, such as Laemmli sample buffer and Triton-X 100 buffer, are also compatible with this procedure. Additional optimization of the cell stimulation protocol and cell lysis procedure may be required for each specific application.
2. Remove the cellular debris by centrifuging the lysates at 14,000 x g for 10 minutes. Alternatively, lysates may be ultracentrifugedat 100,000 x g for 30 minutes for greater clarification.
3. Carefully decant the clarified cell lysates into clean tubes and determine the protein concentration using a suitable method, such as the Bradford assay. Polypropylene tubes are recommended for storing cell lysates.
4. React an aliquot of the lysate with an equal volume of 2x Laemmli Sample Buffer (125 mM Tris, pH 6.8, 10% glycerol, 10% SDS, 0.006% bromophenol blue, and 130 mM dithiothreitol [DTT]) and boil the mixture for 90 seconds at 100°C.
5. Load 10-30 µg of the cell lysate into the wells of an appropriate single percentage or gradient minigel and resolve the proteins by SDS-PAGE.
6. In preparation for the Western transfer, cut a piece of PVDF membrane slightly larger than the gel. Soak the membrane in methanol for 1 minute, then rinse with ddH2O for 5 minutes. Alternatively, nitrocellulose may be used.
7. Soak the membrane, 2 pieces of Whatman paper, and Western apparatus sponges in transfer buffer (formulation provided below) for 2 minutes.
8. Assemble the gel and membrane into the sandwich apparatus.
9. Transfer the proteins at 140 mA for 60-90 minutes at room temperature.
10. Following the transfer, rinse the membrane with Tris buffered saline for 2 minutes.
11. Block the membrane with blocking buffer (formulation provided below) for one hour at room temperature or overnight at 4°C.
12. Incubate the blocked blot with primary antibody at a 1:1000 starting dilution in Tris buffered saline supplemented with 3% Ig-free BSA and 0.1% Tween 20 overnight at 4°C or for two hours at room temperature.
13. Wash the blot with several changes of Tris buffered saline supplemented with 0.1% Tween 20.
14. Detect the antibody band using an appropriate secondary antibody, such as goat F(ab)2 anti-rabbit IgG alkaline phosphatase conjugate or goat F(ab)2 anti-rabbit IgG horseradish peroxidase conjugate in conjunction with your chemiluminescence reagents and instrumentation.
