U-2OS Whole Cell lysate

• Cat.No.: U-2OS-01HCL
• Product Overview: U-2OS Whole Cell lysate

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: U-2OS
• Lysate preparation: The cells were grown in McCoy''s 5A medium containing 1.7 mM L-Gln and 2.2 g/L sodium bicarbonate supplemented with 10% FBS (Fetal Bovine Serum). The lysate was prepared by first washing the cells in PBS. Washed cells are then incubated on ice in modified RIPA buffer containing 150 mM sodium chloride, 50 mM Tris Cl, pH 7.4, 1 mM EDTA, 1.0% NP-40, 0.5% sodium deoxycholic acid and 0.1% SDS to lyse the cells. Protein integrity is 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 and 1 μM Pepstatin A). ). The following phosphatase inhibitors were also added: 1 mM NaF and 1 mM Na3VO4. Cell debris was removed by centrifugation. Protein concentration was determined by Lowry assay using a commercially available kit. The protein concentration was adjusted to 2 mg/mL and then an equal volume of 2× SDS-PAGE sample buffer was added.
• Recommended Usage: Ready-to-use lysates are especially prepared as positive controls for separation by SDS-PAGE and subsequent western blot
  analysis. Lysates are prepared in denaturing buffer WITHOUT dissociating agents (i.e. no 2- mercaptoethanol or dithiothreitol
  has been added).
• Storage: Store at 2-8 centigrade for continuous use. For extended storage, freeze working aliquots at -70 centigrade. Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Under proper storage conditions the shelf life is half a year from the date of receipt.
• Storage Buffer: 1X SDS-PAGE Sample Buffer (62.5 mM Tris HCl, 2% SDS, 10% Glycerol and 0.005% bromophenol blue, pH 6.8)
• Concentration: 2 mg/mL
