PANC-1 Whole Cell Lysate

PANC-1 cells were grown in Dulbecco's medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum. Cells were washed with PBS and then incubated on ice in modified RIPA buffer to lyse the cells. Protein integrity was 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 μM Aprotinin, 5 μM Bestatin, 1.5 μM E-64, 2 μM Leupeptin Hemisulfate, 1 μM Pepstatin A) . Phosphatase inhibitors 1 mM NaF and 1 mM Na3VO4 were also added. Cell debris was removed by centrifugation. Protein concentration was determined by a modified Lowry assay using a commercially available kit. Protein concentration was adjusted to 4 mg/ml with 1X RIPA buffer.

Orb348710 has been tested by SDS-PAGE. Multi-purpose PANC-1 Whole Cell Lysate are especially prepared as positive control for multiple assays including western blot, immunoprecipitation (IP), capture ELISA or other assays requiring native protein sample. For separation by SDS-PAGE and subsequent western blot analysis, lysates should be diluted by user to desired concentration in SDS-PAGE buffer with 2-mercaptoethanol or dithiothreitol as the reducing agent and heated to 95° C for 5 minutes. Sample is ready for use in immunoprecipitation and ELISA experiments, conditions should be optimized by the user. Rockland recommends its TrueBlot IP reagents for immunoprecipitation experiments.
