What Is the Expected IL34 Western Blot Band Size?

Use the product-observed 27.5 kDa band as the primary planning value and retain the UniProt calculated mass as context.

What am I looking at on my blot?
27.5 kDaMatches the authoritative product WB observation.
27.5 kDa calculatedUse as UniProt context, not as a replacement observed band.
Unexpected additional signalDo not assign identity without orthogonal positive/negative controls.
💡Expected IL34 appearancePlan around 27.5 kDa and keep the calculated mass as supporting context.
How each factor affects band size
Catalog-observed band27.5 kDa; use this as the primary experimental expectation.
Calculated mass27.5 kDa from UniProt Q6ZMJ4; retain as context.
Gel selection12-15%; shared with the recommended protocol and poster.
Specificity checkCompare the lead HPA positive and negative controls with A06903-2.
Why is my band missing or off?
SituationLikely causeNext action
27.5 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 IL34 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.

Undetected expression · recommended negative controls

The Human Protein Atlas exposes no structured IHC tissue profile for IL34, so tissue-level positive/negative controls cannot be listed here. Use a documented IL34-positive lysate (recombinant IL34 or a known-expressing line) as the positive control and a IL34 knockdown/knockout lysate as the negative control; confirm against the antibody datasheet.

Advanced IL34 Western Blot Tips

Deeper troubleshooting and optimisation questions for IL34, answered from its protein features.

Which band should guide the blot?
Use 27.5 kDa, the observation attached to the authoritative A06903-2 WB record.
How should calculated mass be interpreted?
Treat the UniProt calculated mass as context; it does not replace the catalog-observed 27.5 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 IL34 Western blot?
Use the transfer method in the recommended protocol and verify transfer before blocking.
How should A06903-2 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.
