Product Name:

Anti-KIF15 Antibody

Catalog Number:

ab57521

I am studying expression and function of KIF15 in cancer. Using this antibody, I am evaluating protein expression in tumor cell line lysates compared with disease-free, organ-specific control cell line lysates. I chose this antibody because it's a mouse monoclonal Ab (which I prefer).

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Western Blot

Sample

Tumor cell line lysate

Primary Incubation

1:1000, 4 degrees C, overnight with rocking

Blocking Agent

5% milk

Secondary Incubation

1:5000, 45 minutes, room temperature with rocking

Tertiary Incubation

NA

Detection

Pierce ECL

Results Summary

160 kDa band observed, which corresponds to correct size of KIF15.  Also observed NS band at ~30 kDa, similar to what was observed on blots produced by Abcam.

Summary

The Good

High specificity with 1:1000, can likely use less to get good bands

The Bad

NS band observed; expensive

The Bottom Line

Good antibody, would recommend to others
