Aim of the study was to test the effect of a growth factor treatment on human primary cell line on DGAT2 protein levels. For this, cells starved for 12 hours were treated with growth factor, lysed and protein extracts were isolated. An equal amount of proteins was resolved in denaturing gel and immunoblotted with DGAT2 antibody obtained from R & D systems. Although antibody was also available with other suppliers, the selection was solely based on the information’s indicated in antibody flyer. Low range protein marker from Bio-Rad was used.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Western Blot

Sample

Human primary cell whole cell lysate

Primary Incubation

Dilution (1:1500) in 5% BSA prepared in 1x TBST, overnight incubation at 4 degree Celsius

Blocking Agent

skimmed milk (5%) prepared in 1x TBST

Secondary Incubation

Goat anti-Sheep IgG HRP, dilution (1:4000) in 5% skimmed milk prepared in 1x TBST, 1hr at RT

Tertiary Incubation

None

Detection

ECL detection in X-Ray film

Results Summary

Although, the antibody has detected a specific band of AMPKα at the correct molecular weight (compared with low range protein marker, Bio-Rad# 161-0304) few non-specific bands were also detected. The difference of antibody non-specificity between flyer and the present experiment is maybe due different cell types and experimental conditions.

DOI or PMID #

Additional Notes

Non-specific bands were also observed

Summary

The Good

Detected a specific band of DGAT2

The Bad

The antibody also cross-reacted with other nonspecific epitopes

The Bottom Line

Best antibody for the DGAT2 detection in human cells
