HOW DID OUR ANTIBODY PERFORM?
ANTIBODY CUSTOMER REVIEW: Twist-1 Polyclonal Antibody (STJ31126)
What was used?Primary antibody: Twist-1 Polyclonal antibody (STJ31126)
Provider: St John's Laboratory
Dilution ratio: 1:500
Application: Western Blot
Materials for validation: HCT116 cells

What was the protocol?Treatment of Materials Cell pellet was lysed in 1.3 mls of 1 X standard RIPA lysis buffer with
protease inhibitors (PMSF and aprotinin) added. After lysis, samples were spun down and 4X sample buffer added. About 35 ul of the lysed cells was separated by SDS-PAGE at 7.5% and then transferred and blotted
Gel Electrophoresis 10% polyacrylamide gel, constant voltage 90V, 120 min. 50 ug per lane.
Transfer Nitrocellulose membrane
Blocking 1X TBST with 10% skimmed milk powder for 45 minutes.
Primary Antibody Application 1:500 primary antibody was added to the solution of 1X TBST with 2.5% skimmed milk powder, 4˚C for overnight.
Secondary Antibody Application Secondary antibody (anti-rabbit HRP) was added to the solution of 1X TBST with 2.5% skimmed milk powder with 1:7500 dilution ratio, for 2 hr.
Visualisation ECL kit
What was the protocol?Gel electrophoresis information: 10 % polyacrylamide gel, constant voltage 90 V for 60 min.
Transfer information: PVDF membrane, 1 piece of gel (semi-dry transfer) at 260 mA for 3 hours
