Anti-Somatostatin Receptor 5 antibody (ab28618) at 1 µg/ml + Brain: pituitary gland (Human) Whole Cell Lysate - adult normal tissue (ab29749) at 10 µg

Secondary
Goat polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Rabbit IgG - H&L (HRP), pre-adsorbed at 1/3000 dilution

Developed using the ECL technique.

Performed under reducing conditions.

Observed band size: 42 kDa why is the actual band size different from the predicted?
Additional bands at: 15 kDa, 20 kDa, 73 kDa. We are unsure as to the identity of these extra bands.


Exposure time: 8 minutes


Somatostatin Receptor 5 contains a number of potential glycosylation sites (SwissProt) which may explain its migration at a higher molecular weight than predicted. Abcam welcomes customer feedback and would appreciate any comments regarding this product and the data presented above.

ICC/IF image of ab28618 stained MCF7 cells. The cells were 100% methanol fixed (5 min) and then incubated in 1%BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab28618, 5µg/ml) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1h. Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red) at a 1/200 dilution for 1h. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue) at a concentration of 1.43µM.
