Product Name:

KMT2A/MLL Antibody

Catalog Number:

NB600-256

Our lab works on enhancer-promoter interactions in cancer cells. I used MLL1 antibody to check the levels of this protein, a histone H3 lysine 4 methyltransfarese in cancer cells. H3K4me(1) is an important mark of enhancers.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Western Blot

Sample

HL-60 and HEK-293T whole cell lysates

Primary Incubation

1:1000, at 4 degree O/N in TBST on a rocker

Blocking Agent

5% BSA in TBST for one hr

Secondary Incubation

Goat anti-rabbit IgG HRP in 5% BSA at room temperature for 1 hr

Tertiary Incubation

N/A

Detection

ECL for 15 sec exposure with x-ray film

Results Summary

This antibody detects the specific band but also gives many other bands, which is a common case with most MLL antibodies.

Summary

The Good

Gives a strong signal

The Bad

The Bottom Line

Despite multiple bands, I would say it is a good antibody to detect MLL1
