Profiling protein expression in circulating tumour cells using microfluidic western blotting
Circulating tumour cells (CTCs) are rare tumour cells found in the circulatory system of certain cancer patients. The clinical and functional significance of CTCs is still under investigation. Protein profiling of CTCs would complement the recent advances in enumeration, transcriptomic and genomic characterization of these rare cells and help define their characteristics. Here we describe a mic...
متن کاملMicrofluidic Western blotting.
Rapid, quantitative Western blotting is a long-sought bioanalytical goal in the life sciences. To this end, we describe a Western blotting assay conducted in a single glass microchannel under purely electronic control. The μWestern blot is comprised of multiple steps: sample enrichment, protein sizing, protein immobilization (blotting), and in situ antibody probing. To validate the microfluidic...
متن کاملImmunofluorescent protein detection in Western blotting
This report describes the detailed procedures for Western blot analysis using fluorescent antibodies. After electrophoresis and subsequent electroblotting, the fluorescent-labeled antibodies were visible upon ultraviolet illumination of the polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes and could then be photographed to give an accurate record of the blots. Fluorescent labeling allows for photographi...
متن کاملMicrofluidic Western Blotting of Low-Molecular-Mass Proteins
We describe a microfluidic Western blot assay (μWestern) using a Tris tricine discontinuous buffer system suitable for analyses of a wide molecular mass range (6.5-116 kDa). The Tris tricine μWestern is completed in an enclosed, straight glass microfluidic channel housing a photopatterned polyacrylamide gel that incorporates a photoactive benzophenone methacrylamide monomer. Upon brief ultravio...
متن کاملWestern Blotting
Histological Analysis and Immunohistochemistry Renal sections (3 μm thick) were stained with periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) and examined under light microscopy. Glomerulosclerosis index was semiquantitatively graded as 0 to 4+; vascular injury score as 0 to 3+; and tubulointerstitial injury score as 0 to 5+, according to the criteria reported previously. Ultrastructure of glomerular podocytes was a...
