We generally use DnaK protein levels as a cytosolic control for Western blotting. This allows us to determine if general protein levels are expressed evenly between different samples. The samples are also normalized to OD600.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Western blot

Sample

Bacterial cultures

Primary Incubation

16 hours 4 degrees C

Blocking Agent

5% skim milk powder in TBST

Secondary Incubation

Goat anti-mouse in 5% skim milk powder in TBST, 1 hour room temperature

Tertiary Incubation

NA

Detection

Enhanced Chemi-luminescence, exposure to film

Results Summary

We always received clear and crisp bands with protein samples. It works well as an antibody control for Salmonella enterica. With high concentration samples, a very small second band can be seen a few kDa below the main band.

Additional Notes

The antibody is shipped in glycerol and PBS, and is monoclonal.
