I generated a JAK1 knockout cell line and wanted to confirm that the JAK1 protein was completely depleted from these cells using a Western Blot. The antibody worked well and gave me a robust band in the expected size range in the positive control cell lines (the JAK1 knockout cell lines were negative as expected). However, there were some non-specific bands in the upper portion of the membrane (~180 kDa). These were not an issue as they were well outside of the expected size range, but do indicate some non-specific binding of the antibody (at least in the cancer cell lines I was using).

Primary Incubation

1:1000 dilution of primary antibody in 1% BSA incubated overnight at 4 degrees celsius on a slow rocker.

Blocking Agent

5% milk

Secondary Incubation

1:1000 goat-anti-rabbit HRP conjugated antibody suspended in 1% milk for one hour at room temperature

Results Summary

As mentioned in the previous description, the antibody gave a robust band in the expected size range (~130 kDa). However, there were some non-specific bands in the upper portion of the membrane (~180 kDa) that indicate non-specific antibody binding. My positive controls had robust JAK1 expression, and my JAK1 knockout cells lost JAK1 expression as expected.
