Product Name:

Anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] - Loading Control

ab8245

Clone Number:

N/A

I use GAPDH antibody as loading control for total cellular protein fractions or soluble protein fractions regularly under various stress conditions.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Western blot

Sample

Mouse, Human cell lines

Primary Incubation

1:10000 in 1% BSA, Overnight at 4°C

Blocking Agent

5% BSA in Tris-buffered Saline Tween-20

Secondary Incubation

1:10000 HRP-conjugated anti-Mouse IgG, 1 hour at RT

Tertiary Incubation

N/A

Detection

ECL detection in documentation system (Vilber Lourmat).

Results Summary

The level of GAPDH does not change under various treatments and acts as good loading control for protein gels. GAPDH is a soluble protein and so works great with total and soluble protein fractions and is not detected in insoluble protein fractions.
