I use this antibody to control the protein loading of my Western Blots. It works really well and always gives a clean signal. I use it in a 1:1000-1:2000 dilution.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Western Blot

Sample

Protein lysates of cell lines (HEK 293, NIH/3T3, Jurkat), mouse colon organoids

Primary Incubation

1:1000, overnight, 4°C

Blocking Agent

5% BSA in TBS-T

Secondary Incubation

1:2000, 2h, room temperature

Tertiary Incubation

None

Detection

Chemiluminescence Detection

Results Summary

The antibody is binding perfectly to the protein on the membrane. It works really well with PVDF- as well as NC-membranes. I can always see if the protein loading is equal or not. The antibody can used at least 3 times and delivers clear results.
