Western blot analysis of Drosophila ovaries from three fly strains showed comparable Phb2 protein levels across all samples. Consistent bands at 30 kDa confirmed expected molecular weight, with β-Actin used as a loading control to verify equal protein loa

Application Western Blot
Sample Drosophila Ovaries
Sample Processing Description Dissection, Homogenization, Sample boiling in 1X Lamelli, SDS-PAGE, Standard Western Blotting
Primary Antibody Anti-Fruit Fly Drp1 Antibody
Primary Incubation 1:1000 in 5% BSA and 0.1% PBST Either 2 hours at RT or Overnight at 4 Degrees
Secondary Antibody 1:10000 Anti-rabbit/mouse IgG horseradish peroxidase-conjugated
Secondary Incubation 1 hour at room temperature
Other Reagents used ECL Clarity Substrate and enzyme for Chemiluminescence
Detection Biorad ChemiDoc
Results Summary In Drosophila ovaries, loss of Drp1 function was confirmed. Western blot analysis validated Drp1 knockdown, showing reduced Drp1 protein levels (~85 kDa) in ovaries expressing Drp1 miRNA, with β-Actin serving as a loading control.

"Works well for immunofluorescence"

--Jason Tennessen

SKU DZ41223
Application IF
Sample Drosophila larval fat body

"We’ve verified the specificity of this custom antibody that Boster generated for us. The antibody "Anti-Fruit Fly Gpdh1 Antibody (DZ41223)” works well for immunofluorescence. A 1:100 dilution of this antibody stains fat body tissues of wild-type larvae but not Gpdh1 mutant. I’m happy to advertise this antibody to the fly community."

Immunofluorescence for Anti-CG6353 Antibody

--Amin Ghabrial  Pathology and Cell Biology  Columbia University  Principal Investigator

Excellent, submitted by on

Source: Biocompare.com

"My lab is characterizing a mutant we named disjointed. The disjointed gene is also known as CG6353 or Archease. We have used this antibody for IF, and it appears to work well. It gives us a staining pattern for the endogenous protein that matches the pattern we see with an HA-tagged fusion protein detected by anti-HA staining."

SKU DZ33921-1
Application Immunofluorescence
Sample Drosophila larvae
Primary Incubation   1:100 at 4 degrees overnight
Blocking Agent 4% horse serum
Secondary Incubation   1:1000 anti-Rb-A488
Tertiary Incubation   N/A
Detection IF
Results Summary Antibody staining reveals subcellular localization of the protein. In salivary gland and trachea, localization was primarily nuclear.

SKU DZ33938-1
Application Western Blot
Sample Insect, D. melanogaster
Detection ECL

"The research of our lab aims to understand the mechanisms of maternally deposited RNAs and proteins clearance during maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT). This is a very good AB, tested on WB only. The image shows GFP-tagged Me31B. Very good and clean. Clean and sharp band. Recommend Boster antibody production service."
