Sample

Rat liver tissue

Primary Incubation

1:250, 4 C, overnight with gentle rocking

Blocking Agent

Detection

Odyssey with Image Studio software

Results Summary

Really nice blots, minimal background. Observed two really nice bands at the 78 and 94 KDa molecular weights, these correspond to GRP78 and GRP94 retention sequences. There is one additional band that I am getting, I'm assuming it is non-specific banding around 52 KDa. Other than that, clean image and easy to use!

Additional Notes

None
