Company:

Cell Signaling Technology

Product Name:

PLK1 (208G4) Rabbit mAb

Catalog Number:

4513

We develop siRNA therapeutic for cancer. In this scenario, we needed to screen the level of PLK1 protein in colon cancer cell lines and determine whether our siRNA has good knockdown. Cell Signaling 4513 was compared to PLK1 antibodies from other manufacturers and performed better.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Western Blot

Sample

Human colon cancer cell line lysate, 20ug loaded per lane.

Primary Incubation

1:500 in Licor blocking buffer diluted 1:1 with TBS, contained 0.1 % tween 20, overnight at 4 degrees.

Blocking Agent

Licor blocking buffer

Secondary Incubation

Licor IRDye 800CW, 1:10,000 in Licor blocking buffer diluted 1:1 with TBS, contained 0.1 % tween 20 and 0.05% SDS, 2 hours at room temperature.

Tertiary Incubation

None

Detection

Licor Odyssey CLx

Results Summary

PLK1 protein level was detected across 8 colon cancer cell lines, in which their expression level agreed with existing published data (A). Knockdown was achieved with our siRNA and properly detected (B). Specificity was good as we did not observed any additional band on the membrane.
