Western blot analysis of BAD was performed with 10 µg of A549 cells transfected with Transfection Reagent alone (Lane 1), 100nM Non-Targeting control siRNA (Lane 2), or 100nM siRNA against BAD (Lane 3). Proteins were resolved using a NuPAGE® Novex 4-12% Bis-Tris Gel (Product # NP0322BOX), XCell SureLock™ Electrophoresis System (Product # EI0002), and a protein size ladder. Proteins were wet transferred to a Pierce Nitrocellulose Membrane (Product # 88025) OR Pierce PVDF Membrane (Product # 88518) and blocked with Pierce Starting Block T20 (PBS) Blocking Buffer (Product # 37539) for 1 hour at room temperature. BAD was detected at ~ 23 kDa using BAD Rabbit polyclonal antibody (Product # PA5-17896) diluted in Pierce Starting Block T20 (PBS) Blocking Buffer 4°C overnight on a rocking platform. Pierce Goat Anti-Rabbit (Product # 31461) HRP-Conjugated Antibodies at a 1:2500 dilution were used and chemiluminescent detection was performed using Pierce Supersignal West Dura Maximum Sensitivity Substrate (Product # 37071). Relative density of the bands normalized to GAPDH (36 kDa). BAD Antibody (Product # PA5-17896) confirms silencing of BAD expression.
