Company:

Santa Cruz Biotechnologies, Inc.

Product Name:

Cdyl Antibody (G-15)

Catalog Number:

sc-34148

Our lab generates a lot of protein knockouts in mouse embryonic stem cells using crispr-cas9 technology. We use western blots and subsequent sequencing to screen potential knockout clones. We chose this antibody, because it can be used for IP and WB, according to Santa Cruz.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Western Blot

Sample

Whole cell lysates from mouse ES cells

Primary Incubation

1:500 dilution overnight in 5% milk buffer at 4C

Blocking Agent

5% milk in PBST

Secondary Incubation

1:3000 anti-goat secondary at RT for 1 hour

Tertiary Incubation

NA

Detection

Exposure with SuperSignal™ West Femto Maximum Sensitivity Substrate, imaged with apparatus from Bio-Rad

Results Summary

Staining shows non-specific band for all lanes, even though we confirmed the lanes circled in red as knockouts through sequencing. Not a good antibody.

Additional Notes
