Article Snippet: The membrane was incubated overnight at 4°C with primary antibodies specific to TLR2 (#bs-1019R, Bioss, 1:1000), MyD88 (#bs-1047R, Bioss, 1:1000), p-NF-κB-p65 (#bs-7343R, Bioss, 1:1000), NLRP3 (#bs-41293R, Bioss, 1:1000), caspase-1 (#bsm-52441R, Bioss, 1:1000), IL-1β (#bs-0812R, Bioss, 1:1000), and GSDMD (#bs-14287R, Bioss, 1:1000), followed by incubation with an IgG secondary antibody (#bs-10900R, Bioss, 1:5000) for 1 hour in the dark.
