The Western blot detection protocol covered in this document begins after the transfer step and continues to the imaging step. Hints are provided before the protocol to help you get started. Guidelines for Western blot detection and adapting your protocol for an OdysseyImager are provided after the protocol.
You can use TBS-based or PBS-based buffers with this protocol. Be sure to keep your buffer system consistent throughout the protocol for blocking, antibody dilutions, and washes. For example, if you use a TBS-based buffer system, choose Intercept® (TBS) Blocking Buffer. If you use a PBS-based buffer system, choose Intercept® (PBS) Blocking Buffer. 1. Bl...
Fuorescence detection with OdysseyImagers provides a quantitative detection method for Western blots. The following section includes basic tips to help you get started. The best transfer conditions, membrane, and blocking agent for experiments will vary, depending on the antigen and antibody.
For the best results, read the entire protocol carefully before beginning your experiments. 1. To learn more about optimizing your Western blots, read Good Westerns Gone Bad (licor.com/GWGBIR). 2. To learn more about gel transfer, read Protein Electrotransfer Methods and the Odyssey Infrared Imaging Systems (licor.com/proteintransfer).
Multiple antigens can be detected simultaneously on the same blot using IRDye® secondary antibodies and VRDye™secondary antibodies. When performing a blot, use the standard Western blot protocol with the following modifications: 1. Combine the primary antibodies in the antibody diluent. Incubate simultaneously with the membrane. The primary antibodi...
When adapting Western blotting protocols for Odyssey detection or using a new primary antibody, it is important to determine the optimal antibody concentrations. Optimization will help achieve maximum sensitivity and consistency, while minimizing background. Parameters such as primary antibody concentration, IRDye® secondary antibody or VRDye™secon...
