Article Title: Analysis of Secretin-Induced Stress in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Suggests Prevention Rather than Response and Identifies a Novel Protein Involved in Secretin Function
Article Snippet: Total cell lysates were prepared, and the proteins were purified under denaturing conditions by nickel-nitrilotriacetic acid affinity chromatography as described by the manufacturer (Qiagen). .. Polyclonal rabbit antisera were raised against the purified fusion proteins at Covance Research Products, Denver, PA. For immunoblot analysis, proteins were separated by sodium dodecyl sulfatepolyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and transferred to nitrocellulose or polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) by electroblotting. .. Chemiluminescent detection followed sequential incubation with a diluted polyclonal antiserum and then goat anti-rabbit immunoglobulin G–horseradish peroxidase conjugate (BioRad) used at a dilution of 1 in 5,000 or 1 in 10,000.

Two different polyclonal rabbit antisera were produced against a synthetized N-terminal peptide (AQRSPQELFHEAAQQGC) of mouse Slc12a8 (Covance, PA). .. Mouse tissues were homogenized with RIPA buffer and boiled in 1x Laemmli buffer for 5 min.
