Cell Signaling Technology

Product Name:

Src (L4A1) Mouse mAb

Catalog Number:

2110S

I have developed a model of drug resistance to an anti-cancer drug, and performed proteomic analysis to understand the molecular signling pathways that confer resistance. Vials of the antibodies were leftover in the lab from previous use by other investigators. Generally, I prefer Cell Signaling antibodies because they are well-validated and tend to perform well.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Western Blot

Sample

Ovarian cancer cell line lysates

Primary Incubation

1:1000 in 5% milk in TBS-T, O/N at 4 degrees C

Blocking Agent

5% milk in TBS-T, 1 hr, RT

Secondary Incubation

1:5000 anti-Rb HRP in 5% milk in TBS-T, 30 min, RT

Tertiary Incubation

N/A

Detection

HRP Chemiluminescence

Results Summary

Single band at correct size. There was some background on the blot, but I use a digital analyzer that is likely more sensitive than film. The background did not affect my ability to evaluate the band intensity.

Additional Notes

None

Summary

The Good

Good antibody, single band

The Bad

Some background on blot

The Bottom Line

Overall a good antibody. Background could be a problem for publication, but optimizing antibody concentration may help.
