SKU DZ41720
Application Western Blot
Sample HEK293T whole cell lysates
Sample Processing Description HEK293T cells were transfected with a plasmid expressing SP only (and not Env or Rem) and lysed using RIPA buffer. A total of 80 µg of protein was resolved on a 4–12% gradient SDS-PAGE gel and transferred to a membrane. The membrane was blocked for 1 hour at room temperature with 5% non-fat milk in PBS-Tween (PBS-T). After washing three times with 1× PBS-T (10 minutes each), the membrane was incubated overnight at 4 °C with varying dilutions ofthe SP antibody prepared in 2% non-fat milk (1:500; 1:1000; 1:2000). Following three additional washes with PBS-T (10 minutes each), the membrane was incubated with anti-rabbit secondary antibody, washed again three times, and developed using ECL Plus.
Primary Incubation The membrane was incubated with the SP primary antibody (1:500; 1:1000; 1:2000) overnight at 4 °C.
Secondary Antibody Anti-rabbit-HRP-conjugated secondary antibody
Secondary Incubation Dilution: 1:25,000 in PBS-T/2% milk
Other Reagents used 1× RIPA lysis buffer
1× PBS-T washing buffer (T = 1% Tween 20)
Non-fat milk (for blocking and antibody dilution)
Anti-rabbit HRP-conjugated secondary antibody
Detection Signal was developed using ECL Plus chemiluminescent substrate
Results Summary The SP antibody demonstrated strong performance across all tested dilutions, producing clear and specific signal detection. Dilutions of 1:1000 and 1:2000 yielded the most optimal results, showing minimal background compared to 1:500, which highlights the antibody’s high specificity and sensitivity at these concentrations. To ensure equal protein loading across lanes, the membrane was also probed with a β-actin antibody, confirming equal sample loading and validating the observed signal intensity for SP. Overall, these results demonstrate that the SP antibody is reliable for detecting SP in RIPA-lysed HEK293T samples.

"Works well for immunofluorescence"

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."
