"Thirty micrograms of whole cell extract of pancreatic tumor cell MIA PaCa-2 were loaded on a 4-12% Bis-Tris gel. The membrane was blotted with 1xPBS + 0.2% Tween-20 + 10% non-fat dry milk. The membrane was incubated with Anti-HMOX1 Antibody (PB9212) at the concentration of 200 ng/ml at room temperature for 3 hours. The membrane was then blotted with HRP-conjugated anti-rabbit secondary antibodies at 4oC overnight. The band was detected using regular ECL with 1 minute exposure. A major band with 32 kD was detected."

"The general aim of the experiment was to determine molecular differences of astrocytes in the central nervous system. We wanted to see if there are different expression levels of Sparcl1 in different regions of the mouse brain as a way to compare and possibly validate qPCR data. The product was found on One World Lab and it worked so we decided to buy a greater quantity as opposed to a trial size. The bottom line: Good."

"We are a pharmaceutical startup optimizing cell based drug assays where one of our endpoints was observing the differences in mature IL-1b production in the media. I have compared several kits from the most expensive versions of R&D, over eBioscience/Affymetrix to a more budget Boster's kit. The aim was to decide what is the best price for the value and quality we are getting for reliable and replicable ELISA analyses. This assay was used to test the effect of increasing concentrations of a drug on IL-1b levels (dose response). The kit reported similar data obtained from the other two kits (R&D and eBiosciences), with a slightly larger standard deviations. Results replicated the findings of the previous kits and the assay had good sensitivity/ instructions on how to perform assay and analyze data. I would use this assay in an academic lab for a project where no more than 2-3 96-well plates will be used. It should be done carefully by a scientist that has previously performed ELISA assays. There are many steps to it. It is a good quality budget option to the other leading kits on the market. I would not recommend it for a larger drug screen assay where more than 5 ELISAs kits ought to be used."

"This kit was very straightforward and easy to use. Followed the protocol given in the kit...Straight forward experiment, no tips needed. Kit worked great - positive control was clearly positive. Nothing bad about the kit, although our experimental results were negative. We would buy this kit or similar ELISA kits again from BosterBio."

"I used this anti-CD44 C-terminus antibody to detect cleaved/non-cleaved CD44 product. The results for Western blot are okay. The signal (1:1500) is not super strong but good enough to see clear bands. This antibody could detect a band the same size as another antibody that I used against the extracellular region of CD44, indicating this antibody could detect CD44. CD44 has multiple spliced isoforms. The WB result showed multiple bands, some of the bands I am interested in overlapped with the bands generated by another CD44 antibody targeting the extracellular domains. So, the specificity of this antibody is probably okay. The intensity of bands are acceptable, good enough for publishing. Relatively inexpnsive, okay specificity. Good enough to detect CD44 C-term."

"We sought to see differences in expression of EPAS1 in protein from mouse lung samples. We selected this product because we have used other antibodies from Boster in the past with success. We got bands as expected, but they were not indicative of good conjugation as they were very light. We believe this is because we did not use the recommended Enhanced Chemiluminscent kit with anti-rabbit IgG (EK1002), so we will repeat the experiment with this chemi kit before concluding whether the antibody worked or not. This antibody should work using the chemiluminescent kit recommended...Heed the recommendation of the website and use the chemi kit suggested for high quality visualization."

"I used this kit to detect a recombinant IL1RA in rat serum and it worked very well. The procedure was easy to follow and my standard curve was right on target. If needed we will order this kit and use it again. The kit was able to detect our rIL1RA but was less sensitive in detecting an altered formulation of the protein."

"We were looking for an antibody that detects mouse prolactin in ELISA, this antibody performs well and I particularly liked that there's no lot to lot variability. Low background and fast high OD. Will purchase again."

"After using this antibody for western blot to analyze rat endothelial cells' protein, I found PB9708 Anti-GRK5 antibody worked very well. The blot of 68 Kda can be seen, however, we can see another 3 blots at least. In a word, Anti GRK5 (PB 9708) is useful and good. The blot of 68 Kda can be detected."

"This is an excellent antibody to endoplasmin in HC11 cells. Clean, reliable detection with very little if any background. Great antibody for Westerns. Could probably be optimized for 1 hour primary incubation."
