Company:

Proteintech

Product Name:

Anti-KIF15

Catalog Number:

55407-1-AP

I'm evaluating kinesin expression across a number of cancer cell lines, and purchased this antibody (among several others) to identify the best one to detect KIF15 in protein lysates by Western blot. I selected an antibody from Proteintech based on the suggestion of a colleague who uses antibodies from the company frequently.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Western Blot

Sample

Cancer cell line lysates

Primary Incubation

1:1000 in 5% milk in TBS-T, overnight at 4 degrees C, on a rocker

Blocking Agent

5% milk in TBS-T

Secondary Incubation

1:5000, anti-Rb in 5% milk in TBS-T, 30 minutes at room temp, on a rocker

Tertiary Incubation

NA

Detection

HRP Chemiluminescence

Results Summary

This antibody yielded a strong, clean band at the predicted molecular weight (160 kDa) and faint non-specific bands that were observed using a digital developer, but not on film. When compared with use of other anti-KIF15 antibodies, this antibody produced bands of expected intensity.

Additional Notes

Summary

The Good

Great antibody, clean bands, worked on first try

The Bad

Antibody was a bit expensive, but worth it not to need repetitive validation steps

The Bottom Line

I would recommend this antibody for use in Western blots.
