Abcam

Product Name:

Anti-KAT6B / MORF antibody

Catalog Number:

ab191994

Our lab generates a lot of protein knockouts in mouse embryonic stem cells using crispr-cas9 technology. We use western blots and subsequent sequencing to screen potential knockout clones. We chose this antibody, because we've had some luck with abcam antibodies before.

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 in PBST

Secondary Incubation

1:3000 anti-rabbit 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

Could see almost no bands in the right kDa range. The only band, as pictured, is super faint and probably non-specific. Only two of these clones were confirmed as knockouts through sequencing, although you would never be able to tell which ones from the WB with this antibody.

Additional Notes

None
