All lanes : Goat Anti-Rat IgG H&L (HRP) (ab205720) at 1/5000 dilution

Developed using the ECL technique.

Performed under reducing conditions.

Observed band size: 54 kDa why is the actual band size different from the predicted?


Exposure time: 15 seconds

This blot was produced using a 4-12% Bis-tris gel under the MOPS buffer system. The gel was run at 200V for 50 minutes before being transferred onto a Nitrocellulose membrane at 30V for 70 minutes. The membrane was then blocked for an hour using 2% Bovine Serum Albumin before being incubated with ab6161 overnight at 4°C. Antibody binding was detected using ab205720, and visualised using ECL development solution ab133406.

IHC image of tubulin staining in a section of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded normal human colon*. The section was pre-treated using pressure cooker heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6) for 30mins, and incubated overnight at +4°C with ab6160 at 2ug/ml dilution. DAB was used as the chromogen (ab103723), diluted 1/100 and incubated for 10min at room temperature.

An HRP-conjugated secondary (Ab205720, 1/2000 dilution) was used for 1hr at room temperature.

The section was counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX. The inset negative control image is taken from an identical assay without primary antibody.

For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.

The membrane was incubated overnight with 2% Bovine Serum Albumin at 4°C. Any non-specific background binding was assessed by incubating the membrane with only the secondary antibody (ab205720), and visualised using ECL development solution ab133406.
