The mouse cell line was treated with a growth factor examined to test its effect on the steady-state level of STAT1 proteins. For this, growth-arrested mouse cells were treated with the growth factor, and cells were lysed in RIPA buffer. The proteins were extracted, and equal amount of proteins were resolved in 10% SDS-PAGE. Resolved proteins were western transferred and immunoblotted with STAT1 antibody. The selection of STAT1 antibody from Thermo Fisher Scientific was based on the colleague’s previous experience with the same antibody.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Western Blot

Sample

Mouse cell line cell lysate

Primary Incubation

Dilution (1:1000) in 5% skimmed milk prepared in 1x TBST, overnight incubation at 4 degree Celsius

Blocking Agent

5% skimmed milk made in 1x TBST

Secondary Incubation

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

Results Summary

A good (but faint) and highly specific band of STAT1 was detected at nearly 70 kDa by the Thermo Fisher Scientific antibody. One nonspecific protein band was also observed. There was a significant effect of growth factor treatment on study state levels of STAT1.
