Company:

Rockland

Product Name:

Anti-AKT pS473 mouse monoclonal antibody

Catalog Number:

200-301-268

The antibody 200-301-268 did not detect phosphorylated Akt in contrast to the proven antibody from Cell Signaling.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Western Blot

Sample

Tumor cell lysate

Primary Incubation

Overnight at 8-10 degrees Celcius, with rocking, 1 ug/ml in 4% BSA/PBS/0.05%Tween

Blocking Agent

4% BSA in PBS/0.05% Tween 20

Secondary Incubation

Goat anti-Mouse IgG HRP-conjugated antibody # 7076 from Cell Siganaling; 1:3,000

Tertiary Incubation

None

Detection

Chemiluminescence: West Pico from Thermo Scientific

Results Summary

The 200-301-268 Rockland antibody was tried in comparison with the proven-to-work rabbit anti S473 Akt antibody from Cell Signaling. The antibodies were examined for detection of phosphorylated Akt in the lysates of prostate cancer tumor cells stimulated with HGF. The antibody 200-301-268 from Rockland produced a lot of nonspecific bands (up to 10 bands with different intensities), none of which discriminated between non-activated and activated Akt. This was in contrast to Cell Signaling antibody, which perfectly indicated HGF-stimulation of Akt phosphorylation. I would not recommend this antibody for cell signaling research.

Summary

The Good

None

The Bad

The antibody produced a lot of non-specific bands whithout any indication of phospho Akt, confirmed in the same lysates by another anti-phospho Akt antibody.

The Bottom Line

I would not recommend this antibody for cell signaling research
