Application example
5 µg of total protein from (1) Arabidopsis thaliana leaf extracted with Protein Extration Buffer, PEB (AS08 300), (2) Spinacia oleracea total cell, extracted with PEB, (3) Hordeum vulgare total cell extracted with PEB, (4) Zea mays total cell extracted with PEB, were separated on 4-12% NuPage (Invitrogen) LDS-PAGE and blotted 1h to PVDF. Blots were blocked immediately following transfer in 2% blocking reagent (GE Healthcare) in 20 mM Tris, 137 mM sodium chloride pH 7.6 with 0.1% (v/v) Tween-20 (TBS-T) for 1h at room temperature with agitation. Blots were incubated in the primary antibody at a dilution of 1: 10 000 for 1h at room temperature with agitation. The antibody solution was decanted and the blot was rinsed briefly twice, then washed once for 15 min and 3 times for 5 min in TBS-T at room temperature with agitation. Blots were incubated in secondary antibody (anti-rabbit IgG horse radish peroxidase conjugated) diluted to 1:50 000 in 2% blocking solution for 1h at room temperature with agitation. The blots were washed as above and developed for 5 min with chemiluminescent detection reagent according the manufacturers instructions. Images of the blots were obtained using a CCD imager (FluorSMax, Bio-Rad) and Quantity One software (Bio-Rad).
10 µg of total protein extracted freshly from Arabidopsis thaliana wt leaf tissue (Atn non-senescent leaves), Arabidopsis thaliana wt leaf tissue (Ats senescent leaves), Pinus strobus needle tissue (PS0, PS36 ) with 1 M Tris-HCl, pH 6.8, 10 % SDS, 15 % sucrose, 0.5 DTT and denatured at 75°C for 5 min. were separated on 10 % Bis-Tris Nupage Novex gel (120 V/45 min. using MES buffer system) and blotted 30 min. to PVDF. Blot was blocked with 5 % non-fat milk 45 min./RT with agitation. Blot was incubated in the primary antibody at a dilution of 1: 1000 for 1h/RT with agitation in TBS with 2 % non-fat milk or ON/4°C with agitation. The antibody solution was decanted and the blot was rinsed briefly twice for 10 min. in TBS at RT with agitation. Blot was incubated in Agrisera matching secondary antibody (anti-rabbit IgG horse radish peroxidase conjugated, AS09 602) diluted to 1:75 000 in for 1h/RT with agitation. The blot was washed as above and developed using chemiluminescent detection. Exposure time was 40 seconds.

Open PublicationImmunoblot analysis of photosynthetic enzymes. Immunoblot analysis for the photosynthetic proteins Rubisco, PEPC, PEP-CK, and NADP-ME extracted from leaves of eight C4 grasses belonging to three biochemical subtypes in control (C) or shade (S) environments. Loaded volumes varied between 4 ?l and 15 ?l in order to normalize the protein content to a common leaf area. Because of the small gel size, a limited number of samples (8–9) was loaded on an individual gel. Finally, all immunoblots of the studied protein and species were arranged in a composite figure. For uniform visualization, gamma settings of individual images were adjusted. A protein ladder was used for individual immunoblots; for simplicity, band size is referred to numerically.

Piotr Rozp?dek | 2014-03-24I confirm reactivity against Mesembryanthemum crystallinum. Dillution: as in instructionDaniela Ewe | 2011-11-07I can confirm reactivity against protein from Phaeodactylum tricornutum. The band is clear and there are no other disturbing bands at the same hight. Unfortunately, the antibody is not very stable so I can’t recommend recycling. I don’t use it for more than 3 days. Another aspect is the low dilution factor of 1:2000. This consumes a lot of antibody.
