What Was The Protocol?Treatment of Materials MDBK cells were harvested at 70% confluency by trypsination, then washed (2 x 1 mL PBS),

resuspended in fresh PBS (1 mL) and finally lysed by Dounce homogenisation.

Gel Electrophoresis 4-20% polyacrylamide gel (pre-cast, Thermo-Fisher cat: 0025269), constant voltage 150 V, for 45 minutes.

Transfer 0.45 µm PVDF membrane (GE healthcare life sciences, Amersham HyBond). Semi-dry transfer, constant current 74 mA, for 60 minutes.

Blocking 1X TBST with 5% skimmed milk powder, 2.5 hours (15 mL).

Primary Antibody Probing Primary antibody was added to the solution of 1X TBST with 5% skimmed milk powder, 4˚C and left overnight (2 mL) on Spiramix.

Membrane Wash Membrane was washed with 1X TBST 5 times, for 10 minutes each .

Secondary Antibody Probing Secondary antibody was added to the solution of 1X TBST with 5% skimmed milk powder with a 1:2000 dilution ratio, for 1 hour (2ml).

Membrane Wash Membrane was washed with 1X TBST 5 times, for 10 minutes each .

Visualization ECL visualization – BIORAD clarity ECL reagent. Blot was exposed to ECL for 2 min, then visualized using Syngene gel-doc system.

What were the results?

What did the customer think?

Antibody Specificity:

Antibody RPPA Rating:

Testing results were provided independently by S. Allman at The Open University. They stated “Strong target bands were observed in MDBK cells. No significant non-specific binding was noted.”
