    You ask a good question. Actually, A549 cells have been shown to have high expression of xCT, so that is my positive control. After doing a bit of research on the matter, I think that the 105 kDa band that I am detecting is probably the hete...

    Thanks so muchfor your reply and best of luck with your upcoming experiments. If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

    Inquiry: Hello, I have made two attempts to use your anti-xCT antibody to detect xCT in cell lysates and both blots have resulted in numerous bands, none at the predicted MW of 55 kDa. I have attached an image of my most recent blot to this message. My...

    Thanks for submitting your enquiry. I am sorry to hear this antibody is giving you trouble.

    I was just wondering what positive control samples you have used?

    Thanks in advance for the additional information.

    Hi There,

     

    I wrote you emails to explain my concern of using your xCT antibody to do flow cytometry and ask for your help. But I did not receive any response after I provided you with my experiment details, which makes me very up...

    Thank you for your response and for the additional details which you have provided.

    You are correct as this antibody will only recognize the intracellular epitope of xCT. As such you would need to permeablize your cells to allow entry of the...

    Hi There,

    Our lab recently purchased xCT antibody ab37185 for flow cytometry study. I want to measure xCT cell surface expression. So I first incubated my cells with ab37185 (10ul per sample) for 1hr and washed for 2˜3 times with PBS then incu...
