Company:

Proteintech Group

Product Name:

GFP antibody mouse

Catalog Number:

50430-2-AP

Clone Number:

Polyclonal

I work on selective forms of autophagy, especially focusing on ribophagy and ER-phagy. I have used large numbers of antibodies for proteins related to autophagy. This GFP antibody was not great, yet it was better than the Roche mouse anti-GFP antibody.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Western Blot

Sample

HCT116 cells over-expressing GFP-LC3B

Primary Incubation

1:1000 dilution in 5% BSA, TBST

Blocking Agent

5% non-fat milk in TBST

Secondary Incubation

1:20000 Licor IRDye700 (mouse)

Tertiary Incubation

Wash with TBST, 3 times

Detection

Odyssey Clx

Results Summary

This antibody was purchased because the Roche GFP antibody did not work well. There were lots of non-specific bands, but I could still detect my protein of interest.
