Anti-GAPDH antibody - Loading Control (HRP)

Catalog Number:

ab9385

Western blot assays to validate protein array data in ovarian cancer cell lines.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Western Blot

Sample

Ovarian cancer cell line panel lysates

Primary Incubation

1:1000 in 5% milk in TBS-T, overnight at 4 degrees C, on a rocker

Blocking Agent

5% milk in TBS-T

Secondary Incubation

First run: none; Second run - 1:5000, anti-RB in 5% milk in TBS-T, 30 minutes at RT

Tertiary Incubation

None

Detection

HRP Chemiluminescence

Results Summary

This antibody is HRP-conjugated, however after approximately 1 year of use the tag may dissociate. Using the antibody along with a secondary antibody against Rb reveals bands, so the antibody can still be used. Blots show single band at predicted molecular weight.

Additional Notes

None

Summary

The Good

Convenient as a loading control

The Bad

Tag may be lost after approximately 1 year, so if you use it rarely that could be a problem

The Bottom Line

Good antibody, but not suitable if you'll use it slowly.
