Cell Signaling Technology

Product Name:

Axl (C89E7) Rabbit mAb

Catalog Number:

8661

Our lab works with AXL, and we needed a good antibody to detect protein levels for western blots. We always look first at Cell Signaling for our antibodies because they are consistently high-quality.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Western Blot

Sample

UMRC2 Cell Lysates

Primary Incubation

1:1000 Dilution in 5% BSA in 1X TBS-T at 4C Overnight

Blocking Agent

5% Milk in 1X TBS-T

Secondary Incubation

1:5000 dilution of HRP-conjugated Rabbit secondary in 5% Milk in TBS-T for 1 hour at RT

Tertiary Incubation

NA

Detection

Autoradiography film using ECL alone

Results Summary

This antibody worked well for us. It comes out quite clean on film, and doesn't need extra-strength chemiluminescent substrates to be seen well. We didn't require very much optimization for this antibody either, which was nice. Great results

The Bottom Line

It's always worth it to pay more for antibodies from Cell Signaling if you have the money for it, and this AXL antibody is no exception to that rule. I highly recommend this antibody.
