How to extract protein from Perfused brain for western blot?

Dimitra Tsiovolou  Follow

You can use any cell lysis buffer with protease and phosphatase inhibitors ( Lysis buffer D,CS, RIPA etc.,). It also depends on which protein you are looking for membrane/cytoskeletal/cytoplasmic ?

DearAshwini
I am agree with Sebastian
If your tissue fixed with formalin,you can not use them.
If not, these tissue can be easily use for homogenization and protein extraction. You must lysed the cells using urea and thiourea and concurrently use of protease inhibitor or work on ice under liquid nitrogen.

Maybe you can employ deep sequencing still, but not WB. Hope you good luck.

If you performed the perfusion with (para)formaldehyde, the proteins in your brain sample are chemically crosslinked. I don't think it makes sense to use such a sample for Western Blot.
