    Question

    Hi Thank you for your answer. Sadly, we have seen this exact pattern on 8 differents gels, with 20 sample, analysed at least twice. Our protocol are in french but briefly, we prepare cortex from rat brain on ice, homogenized them  in PBS 1X, spin 10 min 2500 rpm and resuspend in RIPA with anti-protease (cocktail sigma) Then, we did the western on a 12% separating gel, 4% stacking gel, we tried 20 ug, 50 ug and 100 ug of protein (as assayed by Bradford) We blocked overnight at 4 C with 5% milk in TBST (TBS + 1% tween 20) then incubate antibody GLUT3 (1:500) in TBST with 5% milk for 2h15, wahsing 3 times for 10 min then incubate with secondary antibody for 1h (1:10000 ). We used western lightning plus-ECL kit from perkin elmer to revelate. The protocol works for other antbody with the same sample (MCT-2, insulin receptor, b-actin). We also used the same membranes, stripped them and try with the other antibody and it was good. And GLUT-3 antibody also work with other kind of sample (hippocampus, dissected from the cortex of those same animals and prepared on the same day with the same solution as the total cortex). This is most strange. If you have any suggestion, we would be please to try something to resolve this

    Answer

    Thank you for your reply and for these additional details.

    I can see no apparent reason why this product would be giving you this pattern with your rat cortex samples independent of age or treatment. It is especially strange to me that it is working correctly in hippocampal tissues from the same animals. Have you directly compared these hippocampal samples to the cortical samples?

    I look forward to your reply. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

    Question

    Hi I have a question about GLUT-3 ab15311 antibody (lot 789020). In a western blot for 50 ug rat cortex, we see the expected band at 45-48 kDa but we also see a strong band at 38-40 kDa. Some rats have only this band, other have the 45 kDa and other have both (independant of the age or treatment of our rats). I saw in one of the abreviews that this band had been seen before but considered non specific. But in our case, it's so intense and clean, we don't know what to think of it.  We don't think glycosylation or phosphorylation will cause the band to be smaller (but we never know), as this been tested ? Thank you for your help.

    Answer

    Thank you for contacting us.

    Your issue is very interesting as some animals because of the variablity between samples independent of age or treatment. Would you be able to provide your WB protocols and sample treatments? It may be an issue with the gel as the pattern looks similar to the image posted on our site but with lower weights, have you seen this response on multiple gels or just this once?

    Question

    Ichh habe eine Frage bezüglich ab15311. Ich bekomme mit diesem GLUT3-Antikörper in all meinen humanen Lysaten eine klare Bande bei ca. 48 kDa und bin ziemlich sicher, dass diese Bande spezifisch ist für GLUT3, da auch in vielen anderen Publikationen GLUT3 in diesem Bereich gefunden wird und ich auch mit ab53095 und ab41525 die gleiche Bande bekomme. Meine diesbezüglichen Ergebnisse habe ich bereits als Abbreview auf Ihrer Seite veröffentlicht.
    Zusätzlich detektiert ab15311 jedoch eine teilweise noch stärkere Bande bei ca. 38 kDa. Diese Bande taucht nicht auf in humanen Hirnlysaten, humanen Spermatozoenlysaten und humanen Lymphozytenlysaten, allerdings in sämtlichen Lysaten, die aus kultivierten Zellen gewonnen wurden (EBV-LCLs, U87-MG, SHSY-5Y, Fibroblasten), in denen die GLUT3-Expression eher niedriger zu sein scheint.
    Nun meine Frage: ist es möglich, dass das Immunogen von ab15311 an ein Carrierprotein gekoppelt ist und daraus die Bande bei 38 kDa resultiert? Bei ab53095 bekomme ich interessanterweise neben der vermutlich spezifischen 48 kDa Bande eine zusätzliche Bande bei 29 kDa, was mich darin bestätigt, dass diese Banden unspezifisch sind. Es wäre von Vorteil, wenn Sie ein Blocking-Peptid für ab15311 zur Verfügung stellen könnten.

    Answer

    Vielen Dank für Ihre Anfrage und für Ihre Geduld.

    Leider haben wir für die Antikörper ab15311 und ab53095 kein Blockpeptid, und können auch keines herstellen oder beschaffen, aber wir haben eines für den ab41525. Dieses hat die Katalognummer ab105625

    Click here (or use the following: https://www.abcam.com/Glucose-Transporter-GLUT3-peptide-ab105625.html).

    Als Carrier- Protein wurde KHL (Keyhole limpet hemocyanin) verwendet, welches laut BLAST keine Übereinstimmung mit der Immunogen- Sequenz aufweist. Wir sind daher genauso ratlos wie Sie bezüglich der Nebenbanden.

    Ich hoffe, dies hilft Ihnen trotzdem weiter. Bitte zögern Sie nicht, sich wieder bei uns zu melden, falls Sie weitere Fragen haben.
