I wanted to investigate whether the target proteins had any diurnal variations in olfactory bulb tissue and investigated whether these proteins varied between biological replicates and over the course of a day. Here, I wanted a loading control for my immunoblotting experiments using brain tissue.  I used this with a LI-COR Odyssey imager with great results.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Western Blot

Sample

Brain tissue homogenate

Primary Incubation

1:2000 overnight at 4 degrees C

Blocking Agent

Odyssey Blocking Buffer+Tween-20

Secondary Incubation

1:10,000 for 90 minutes at room temperature

Tertiary Incubation

No tertiary incubation

Detection

Near-infrared fluorescence

Results Summary

The antibody worked well at 1:2000 with low background. The band was a singlet at the correct weight. A great antibody that stayed in the refrigerator for over a year with no loss of activity.
