FLT3LG Western Blot Experimental Design Guide
Expected bands, validated protocols, controls and antibodies — the at-a-glance facts below, then the full design guide.
Must know before running
| Expected band | 26.4 kDa observed | |
| Observed band | 26.4 kDa observed | |
| Gel | 12-15% | |
| Positive control | No defensible HPA tissue; use knockout/knockdown | |
| Negative control | Use knockout/knockdown or orthogonal negative |
Important caveats
Reasons your observed band may differ from the expected size.
| ⓘ | Calculated mass | 26.4 kDa |
| ⓘ | Localization | Cell membrane / Secreted |
| ⓘ | Processing / PTM | Record-dependent |
| ⓘ | Reactivity | Human / Rat |

Real Curated FLT3LG Western Blot Protocols
Start with the molecular-weight rule, then compare verified publication-derived conditions.
| Sample / lysate | Known-positive human lysate |
| Gel % | 12-15% |
| Load | 20-30 µg total protein per lane |
| Transfer | Semi-dry, short transfer |
| Membrane | 0.45 µm PVDF |
| Blocking | 5% non-fat milk or 5% BSA in TBST |
| Primary | PA1914 at datasheet starting dilution |
| Primary incubation | Overnight at 4 °C with gentle agitation |
| Secondary | Species-matched HRP conjugate at validated dilution |
| Wash | 3 × 5 min in TBST |
| Detection | Chemiluminescent substrate |
| Exposure | Bracket exposures to avoid saturation |

What Is the Expected FLT3LG Western Blot Band Size?
Use the product-observed 26.4 kDa band as the primary planning value and retain the UniProt calculated mass as context.
| 26.4 kDa | Matches the authoritative product WB observation. |
| 26.4 kDa calculated | Use as UniProt context, not as a replacement observed band. |
| Unexpected additional signal | Do not assign identity without orthogonal positive/negative controls. |
💡Expected FLT3LG appearancePlan around 26.4 kDa and keep the calculated mass as supporting context.
| Catalog-observed band | 26.4 kDa; use this as the primary experimental expectation. |
| Calculated mass | 26.4 kDa from UniProt P49771; retain as context. |
| Gel selection | 12-15%; shared with the recommended protocol and poster. |
| Specificity check | Compare the lead HPA positive and negative controls with PA1914. |
| Situation | Likely cause | Next action |
|---|---|---|
| 26.4 kDa | Matches the authoritative product WB observation. | Confirm with orthogonal controls and the linked product record. |
| Additional band | May reflect processing, modification, or non-specific signal. | Run a dilution series and compare positive/negative controls. |
| Weak signal | Target abundance or transfer may be limiting. | Verify transfer, increase positive-control abundance, and bracket exposure. |

Sample controls for FLT3LG Western blot
🧪No defensible HPA positive control was available; do not invent one.
HPA protein score determines control status; other expression data is supporting context only.

Positive expression · recommended positive controls
| Tissue | Cell type | Level | Evidence | Source |
|---|
Undetected expression · recommended negative controls
The Human Protein Atlas exposes no structured IHC tissue profile for FLT3LG, so tissue-level positive/negative controls cannot be listed here. Use a documented FLT3LG-positive lysate (recombinant FLT3LG or a known-expressing line) as the positive control and a FLT3LG knockdown/knockout lysate as the negative control; confirm against the antibody datasheet.

Advanced FLT3LG Western Blot Tips
Deeper troubleshooting and optimisation questions for FLT3LG, answered from its protein features.
Which band should guide the blot?
Use 26.4 kDa, the observation attached to the authoritative PA1914 WB record.
How should calculated mass be interpreted?
Treat the UniProt calculated mass as context; it does not replace the catalog-observed 26.4 kDa expectation.
Which positive control should I start with?
No defensible positive tissue was supplied; do not invent one.
Which negative control is defensible?
Use a target knockdown/knockout control when no HPA Not detected tissue is available.
Which gel should I use?
Use 12-15% consistently across the quick facts, protocol table, and poster.
What transfer method to use for FLT3LG Western blot?
Use the transfer method in the recommended protocol and verify transfer before blocking.
How should PA1914 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.
