Product Name:

CDYL2 Antibody 0.05 mg

Catalog Number:

H00124359-B01P

We used this antibody to screen CDYL2 knockout candidates using Western Blots. The first lane shows wild-type cell lysate while the rest show cell lysates from knockout candidates. We chose the antibody because the band on the image of Western blot on the Novus site looked specific and of the right size.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Western Blot

Sample

Whole cell lysates from mouse ES cells

Primary Incubation

1:500 dilution overnight in 5% milk buffer at 4C

Blocking Agent

5% milk

Secondary Incubation

1:3000 antimouse secondary at RT for 1 hour

Tertiary Incubation

NA

Detection

Exposure with SuperSignal™ West Femto Maximum Sensitivity Substrate, imaged with apparatus from Bio-Rad

Results Summary

Two bands instead of one indicates non-specific binding. Also, we later confirmed two of the knockout candidates as true knockouts through sequencing, even though the western blot indicated otherwise.
