What Is the Expected CIITA Western Blot Band Size?

Use the product-observed 123.4 kDa band as the primary planning value and retain the UniProt calculated mass as context.

What am I looking at on my blot?
123.4 kDaMatches the authoritative product WB observation.
123.4 kDa calculatedUse as UniProt context, not as a replacement observed band.
Unexpected additional signalDo not assign identity without orthogonal positive/negative controls.
💡Expected CIITA appearancePlan around 123.4 kDa and keep the calculated mass as supporting context.
How each factor affects band size
Catalog-observed band123.4 kDa; use this as the primary experimental expectation.
Calculated mass123.4 kDa from UniProt P33076; retain as context.
Gel selection8-10%; shared with the recommended protocol and poster.
Specificity checkCompare the lead HPA positive and negative controls with A01556-3.
Why is my band missing or off?
SituationLikely causeNext action
123.4 kDaMatches the authoritative product WB observation.Confirm with orthogonal controls and the linked product record.
Additional bandMay reflect processing, modification, or non-specific signal.Run a dilution series and compare positive/negative controls.
Weak signalTarget abundance or transfer may be limiting.Verify transfer, increase positive-control abundance, and bracket exposure.

Sample controls for CIITA Western blot

🧪Use Fallopian tube as the first positive-control candidate and retain an orthogonal negative control.
Positive control: Fallopian tube (High)
Negative control: Heart muscle (Not detected)
HPA protein score determines control status; other expression data is supporting context only.

Advanced CIITA Western Blot Tips

Deeper troubleshooting and optimisation questions for CIITA, answered from its protein features.

Which band should guide the blot?
Use 123.4 kDa, the observation attached to the authoritative A01556-3 WB record.
How should calculated mass be interpreted?
Treat the UniProt calculated mass as context; it does not replace the catalog-observed 123.4 kDa expectation.
Which positive control should I start with?
Start with Fallopian tube, the lead HPA protein-expression candidate.
Which negative control is defensible?
Use Heart muscle as an orthogonal HPA Not detected candidate.
Which gel should I use?
Use 8-10% consistently across the quick facts, protocol table, and poster.
What transfer method to use for CIITA Western blot?
Use the transfer method in the recommended protocol and verify transfer before blocking.
How should A01556-3 be started?
Start at the linked datasheet condition and run a three-point primary-antibody dilution test.
Which publication-derived protocols can I compare?
No verified publication protocol was supplied; use only the deterministic recommended protocol.
