Application examples
Application example

80 µg of Arabidopsis thaliana soluble total cell extract (extracted in 20 mMTris pH7.5, 5mM MgCl2, 2.5mM DTT, 300mM NaCl, 0.1% NP-40, 1% proteaseinhibitor) was separated on 6% SDS-PAGE and blotted 1h to nitrocellulose. Filters were blocked 1h with 5% low-fat milk powder in TBS-TT (0.25% TWEEN20; 0.1% Triton-X) and probed with anti-AGO9 antibody (1:10 000, 1h) and secondary anti-rabbit antibody (HRP conjugated, Agrisera AS09 602) (1:15 000, 1 h) in TBS-TT containing 5% low fat milk powder. Antibody incubations were followed by washings in TBS-TT. All steps were performed at RT with agitation. Blots were developed for 5 min with chemiluminescent detection reagent according the manufacturer's instructions. Exposure time was 30 seconds.

Additional information
AGO expression may be cell/tissue specific and using floral tissue is recommended where most of the AGOs are expressed the highest. Seedlings can be used as a negative control.
Use of proteasome inhibitors as MG132 can help to stabilize AGO proteins during extraction procedure.
A recommended whole-mount immunolocalization protocol can be found here.
Background
AGO9 belongs to a group of argonaute proteins which are catalytic component of the RNA-incudes silencing complex (RISC).
