Applications

Western Blot

Sample

Mouse cell protein extract

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

Tertiary Incubation
