BATCH NUMBER -- NOT SPECIFIED -- ORDER NUMBER -- NOT SPECIFIED -- DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM No signal or weak signal. NO sSIGNAL. SAMPLE I have generated a recombinant Leishmania Ran with very high homology to the human ran (-80%). I have loaded 2ug of purified protein and there was no signal at all even at a dilution of 1:150. Is this normal for a polyclonal antibody? Is the antigen a small peptitde or the whole protein? On the contrary when I do immunofluorescence there seems to be nuclear staining in Leishmania samples. Please help!! PRIMARY ANTIBODY 1:500, 1:150 DETECTION METHOD DAB peroxidation SAMPLE PREPARATION Recombinant protein. TRANSFER AND BLOCKING CONDITIONS 5% milk in TBS and O/N incubation 4 oC. SECONDARY ANTIBODY [another company] anti-rabbit HRP 1:2000 HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU TRIED THE APPLICATION? 3 HAVE YOU RUN A "NO PRIMARY" CONTROL? Yes |

ANSWER: |
Thank you for your enquiry. This particular antibody has not been tested in the species that you are looking at, so we can not guarantee that the antibody will work. Since the antibody is working for immunofluorescence, I would think that there could be something wrong with your Western blot protocol. Have you tried using the specific Western blot protocol listed on the antibody's data sheet? I have given you a link to the data sheet below, the specific Western blot protocol can be found under the protocols tab. I hope this information helps, please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any more advice or information. |

Predicted band size : 26 kDa
ab4781 at a 1/500 dilution staining approximately 26kDa Ran in Xenopus egg extract (lane X, 50µg per lane) and HeLa total cell extract (lane Hu, 50µg per lane) by western blot (ECL, 1 minute exposure).
The top panel shows paraformaldehyde fixed HeLa cells stained with ab2254 (1/1000) and counterstained with DAPI (red). Staining with ab2254 is shown in green. In the lower panel the staining with ab2254 is quenched by the addition of the blocking peptide, ab13569.

IHC image of ab4781 staining in human breast carcinoma formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section, performed on a Leica BondTM system using the standard protocol F. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab4781, 5µg/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.
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.
