Company:

Cell Signaling Technology

Product Name:

p-mTOR 2481

Catalog Number:

2974

This is used for detecting endogenous levels of mTOR only when phosphorylated at serine 2481. 1:500 dilution could be the primary choice to try on it.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Western Blot

Sample

Tissue lysis or cell lines lysis

Primary Incubation

1:500 dilution, incubation overnight at 4 degrees

Blocking Agent

5% BSA

Secondary Incubation

Goat anti rabbit antibody, 1:10000 dilution for incubation 1h at room temperature

Tertiary Incubation

NA

Detection

ECL

Results Summary

Followed the protocol, the band is not strong, so the exposure time usually needs longer time, the background could be adjusted through changing the secondary antibody dilution ratio, washing buffer washing times and various ECL subtract reagents.

Additional Notes

None

Summary

The Good

A good antibody

The Bad

None

The Bottom Line

Since it's a lare sized protein, it's not easy to get a clear or beautiful band each time. We should be careful on protein lysis preparation, and try different developing reagents.
