The rabbit antibody B0847 against C-terminus of CD44 was used to detect CD44 in cell lysates of human CD44-positive cells. However, the antibody B087 produced too many non-specific bands instead of recognizing the protein band with expected mol. wt. of approximately 80 kDa.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Western Blot

Sample

Tumor cell lysate

Primary Incubation

Overnight, at 4-8 degrees Celsius, at 1 ug/mL in 5% milk/PBS/0.05% Tween 20

Blocking Agent

5% milk in PBS/0.05% Tween-20 (5% milk/PBS/Tw)

Secondary Incubation

Goat anti-rabbit antibody conjugated with HRP at 1:5,000 in 5% milk/PBS/Tw

Tertiary Incubation

None

Detection

Chemiluminescence: West Pico from Thermo Scientific

Results Summary

The antibody B0847 produced too many non-specific bands, but failed to detect the major protein band with mol. wt. that would be consistent with the 80-kDa CD44 protein.

Additional Notes

CD44 specific bands were detected in the same cell lysates with the mouse mAb against CD44.

Summary

The Good

None detected

The Bad

Too many non-specific bands

The Bottom Line

I would not recommend this antibody for western blot detection of CD44 in human cancer cells
