Anti-CLLD8/SETDB2 antibody (ab13712)

Thank you for your inquiry. I BLASTed the immunogen sequence of ab5517 against mouse and it only has 55% homology.  We generally say that anything with a greater than 85% homology would be expected to cross-react, so this is quite low.  This antibody probably wouldn't work with mouse samples. However, we do have a goat polyclonal anti-CLLD8/SETDB2 antibody that is predicted to cross-react with mouse, ab13712.  This immunogen is 100% homologous with mouse. However, since we have not tested ab13712 in mouse, we would not be able to guarantee that it would work. https://www.abcam.com/CLLD8-SETDB2-antibody-ab13712.html But, I can offer a discount off a future purchase if you buy ab13712 now, test it in mouse and submit feedback to us in the form of an Abreview. It doesn’t matter whether the Abreview is positive or negative, we would just really like to receive your feedback. The discount would be to the value of 1 free primary antibody.

I'm very sorry to hear you are having problems with ab5517 and ab13712. You do not mention adding loading buffer to your samples prior to boiling, please make sure you add loading buffer containing SDS, DTT, beta-mercaptoethanol and bromphenol blue. Please also make sure you keep samples on ice until boiling and that protease inhibitors are added freshly. You do not mention how long you block the membrane for (and what temperature), I recommend trying 5%BSA in TBST for 1 hr, then rinsing a few seconds in TBST and incubating both primary and secondary antibodies in TBST. The dilution recommended for ab5517 is 1:5000 and for ab13712 is ug/ml but you may need to dilute more, I hope these suggestions help, please do not hesitate to contact us if you need further assistance,
