The cells were grown in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS (Fetal Bovine Serum). Cells were treated with 3 μg/ml nocodazole for 1 h. Cells were washed in PBS and 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). Phosphatase inhibitors sodium fluoride, sodium orthovanadate, sodium pyrophosphate and ?-glycerophosphate were also added. 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 2X SDS-PAGE sample buffer was added.

Applications
Western Blot. 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). Heat lysate to 95° C for 5 minutes and rapidly cool. If dissociating conditions are desired, add reducing agent prior to heating. The recommended loading volume per lane is 10-20 μl depending on the size format of your gel.
