Anti-CD44 antibody

Catalog Number:

PA1021-2

I used this anti-CD44 C-terminus antibody to detect cleaved/non-cleaved CD44 product. The results for Western blot are okay. The signal (1:1500) is not super strong but good enough to see clear bands. This antibody could detect a band the same size as another antibody that I used against the extracellular region of CD44, indicating this antibody could detect CD44.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Western Blot

Sample

Human breast cancer cell line

Primary Incubation

1:1500, 4 degrees celcius, O/N

Blocking Agent

5%BSA in TBST

Secondary Incubation

Goat anti-rabbit HRP, 1:500, 1h at RT

Tertiary Incubation

Thermo super signal femto

Detection

Bio-Rad imager

Results Summary

The WB result showed multiple bands, some of the bands I am interested in overlapped with the bands generated by another CD44 antibody targeting the extracellular domains. So, the specificity of this antibody is probably okay. The intensity of bands are acceptable, good enough for publishing.

Additional Notes

CD44 has multiple spliced isoforms
