Product Name:

Anti-FAK antibody

Catalog Number:

ab131435

Clone Number:

N/A

Human cells subjected to a specific treatment were homogenized and prepared protein extracts were examined to test the effect of the particular treatment on FAK protein levels. For these extracted proteins which were resolved in 10%, SDS-PAGE was immunoblotted with Abcam FAK Ab. The selection of FAK from Abcam was based on previous experience and the information provided in the antibody flyer.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Western blot

Sample

Human whole-cell protein extract

Primary Incubation

Dilution (1:1000) in 5% skimmed milk prepared in 1x TBST, overnight incubation at 4 degrees 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 TBST, 1hr at RT.

Tertiary Incubation

None

Detection

Enhanced chemiluminescent detection in X-Ray films.

Results Summary

The antibody detected only a specific band of FAK protein at 119 kDa, and this shows the specificity of this antibody was high for its on-target epitope.
