I transfected 293T cells with a vector having the GFP marker. To check the transfection after 72 hours, I performed western blot analysis. It showed one specific and another non-specific band in western blot. Although the antibody is easy to use and pre-conjugated with HRPO, it also gives a non-specific band which compromises its quality.
