Product Name:

anti-P53

Catalog Number:

#2524

Clone Number:

1C12

The P53 antibody has been used in HEK293 cells do detect the endogenous P53. Despite the strong signal obatined, the antibody needs some small optimizations

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Milk 5% in PBS 0,05% tween

Secondary Incubation

mouse 1:3000 milk 5% in PBS 0,05% tween 45 minutes

Tertiary Incubation

Results Summary

This antibody has a strong background if not optimazed, but has not unspecific bands. The dilution of 1:1000 reported on the CST datasheet is an optimal condition.HEK293 cells WCL has been loaded on a 4-12% SDS-precast gel (1:15h; 180 V) then proteins have been transferred on nitrocellulose membrane using the semi-dry blotting (45h 12V). Blocking with milk 5% in PBS 0,05% tween (1 hour, but maybe even 30 minutes longer is better), was followed by incubation over night with P53 antibody (1:1000 in milk 5% in PBS 0,05% tween) Then the membrane was washed with 3x 10 minutes with PBS 0,05% tween, followed by a 1-hour incubation with Mouse secondary antibody 1:3000 in milk 1% in PBS 0,05% tween. To wash out the secondary antibody, a second extensive wash with PBS 0,05% tween (3x 10 minutes) was performed. ECL substrate has been used to detect the signal.

Summary

The Good

Very nice signal and very sensitive to increase-decrease of the p53 levels after drug treatment

The Bad

Strong background

The Bottom Line

I would raccomand this product, easy to use and does its job.
