CHAPTER 2<br />

MATERIALS AND METHODS<br />

the average intensity within the selection (the sum of the intensities of all the pixels in the<br />

selection divided by the number of pixels) was measured. All the foci were counted manually; at<br />

least 100 cells per experiment were analyzed from three independent experiments.<br />

2.9 Western Blotting<br />

Proteins were separated by 8 % SDS-PAGE using minigel apparatus (Technosource, India) run<br />

at a constant voltage of 150 volts for 3 hr. The resolved proteins were then transferred to<br />

nitrocellulose membrane using an immunoblot apparatus (Technosource, India) at a constant<br />

voltage of 70 volts for 90 min. Following transfer, membranes were stained using Ponceau S<br />

solution to confirm complete transfer of proteins from the gel. Thereafter, the gel was also<br />

stained with 0.2 % coomassie blue to reconfirm the same. The membranes were blocked<br />

overnight with wash buffer (0.05 M Tris, 0.15 M NaCl and 0.1 % Tween 20 pH8.0) containing 5<br />

% BSA with gentle rocking at 4 0 C. The blocked membranes were probed with specific primary<br />

antibodies (dilutions used are mentioned in the respective figures) followed by washing with<br />

wash buffer four times for 5 min each. Thereafter the membranes were reprobed with horse<br />

radish peroxidase conjugated secondary antibody (Roche Molecular, Biochemicals. Germany) at<br />

a dilution of 1:2000 in wash buffer containing 1 % BSA, washed 4x5 min with wash buffer and<br />

developed with Mouse/Rabbit Western Blotting Kit (Roche Molecular, Biochemicals. Germany).<br />

Chemiluminescence was recorded on Konica AX medical X-Ray films. Images were digitized<br />

using HP Scan Jet ADF Scanner and the figures were assembled using Gelquant Version 2.7<br />

Software.<br />
