IGF1R 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 | 154.8 kDa observed | |
| Observed band | 154.8 kDa observed | |
| Gel | 8-10% | |
| Positive control | Adrenal gland | |
| Negative control | Use knockout/knockdown or orthogonal negative |
Important caveats
Reasons your observed band may differ from the expected size.
| ⓘ | Calculated mass | 154.8 kDa |

Real Curated IGF1R Western Blot Protocols
Start with the molecular-weight rule, then compare verified publication-derived conditions.
| Sample / lysate | Adipose tissue |
| Gel % | 8-10% |
| Load | 20-30 µg total protein per lane |
| Transfer | Wet/tank, extended transfer |
| Membrane | 0.45 µm PVDF |
| Blocking | 5% non-fat milk or 5% BSA in TBST |
| Primary | A00070-3 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 IGF1R Western Blot Band Size?
Use the product-observed 154.8 kDa band as the primary planning value and retain the UniProt calculated mass as context.
| 154.8 kDa | Matches the authoritative product WB observation. |
| 154.8 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 IGF1R appearancePlan around 154.8 kDa and keep the calculated mass as supporting context.
| Catalog-observed band | 154.8 kDa; use this as the primary experimental expectation. |
| Calculated mass | 154.8 kDa from UniProt P08069; retain as context. |
| Gel selection | 8-10%; shared with the recommended protocol and poster. |
| Specificity check | Compare the lead HPA positive and negative controls with A00070-3. |
| Situation | Likely cause | Next action |
|---|---|---|
| 154.8 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 IGF1R Western blot
🧪Use Adrenal gland as the first positive-control candidate and retain an orthogonal negative control.
Positive control: Adrenal gland (High)
HPA protein score determines control status; other expression data is supporting context only.

Positive expression · recommended positive controls
| Tissue | Cell type | Level | Evidence | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Adrenal gland | Reported tissue cells | High | Protein (HPA) | HPA → |
| Adipose tissue | Reported tissue cells | High | Protein (HPA) | HPA → |
| Caudate | Reported tissue cells | High | Protein (HPA) | HPA → |
| Appendix | Reported tissue cells | High | Protein (HPA) | HPA → |
| Smooth muscle | Reported tissue cells | Low | Protein (HPA) | HPA → |
| Breast | Reported tissue cells | Low | Protein (HPA) | HPA → |
Undetected expression · recommended negative controls
The available HPA profile lists no reliably-negative tissue for IGF1R (a broadly-expressed target). Use a IGF1R knockdown (siRNA/shRNA) or knockout lysate as the negative control and confirm signal loss versus the parental lysate.

Advanced IGF1R Western Blot Tips
Deeper troubleshooting and optimisation questions for IGF1R, answered from its protein features.
Which band should guide the blot?
Use 154.8 kDa, the observation attached to the authoritative A00070-3 WB record.
How should calculated mass be interpreted?
Treat the UniProt calculated mass as context; it does not replace the catalog-observed 154.8 kDa expectation.
Which positive control should I start with?
Start with Adrenal gland, the lead HPA protein-expression candidate.
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 8-10% consistently across the quick facts, protocol table, and poster.
What transfer method to use for IGF1R Western blot?
Use the transfer method in the recommended protocol and verify transfer before blocking.
How should A00070-3 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.
