“…To evaluate the expression of DDR proteins whole cell lysates were prepared and Western blotting performed as described previously (Hölzl‐Armstrong et al ., 2020). The following antibodies were utilized: anti‐phospho‐p53 (Ser15; 1:2,000; Cell Signalling, Danvers, MA, #9284;), anti‐p53 (1:500; Cell Signalling, 2524S), anti‐p21 (1:2,000; BD Biosciences, Franklin Lakes, NJ, #BD556431), anti‐γ‐H2ax (Ser139; 1:1,000; Cell Signalling #9718), anti‐phospho‐Chk1 (Ser345; 1:1,000; Cell Signaling #2348), glyceraldehyde 3‐phosphate dehydrogenase (Gapdh; 1:25,000; Chemicon International, Temecula, CA, #MAB374), anti‐Mdm2 (1:750; Abcam, Cambridge, United Kingdom #ab16895) and anti‐β‐actin (1:25,000; Abcam #ab6276).…”
