Can anyone help me with western blot for protein ERG?

I did a Western Blot yesterday but, my band doesn't exist!

I think my antibody dilution is wrong... I used 1:10,000 for anti-ERG

What dilution should I try this time?

Silvia Carvalho

Hi Marian

It depends on which antibody you are using...

What does the datasheet of the antibody says? (For example abcam suggests for WB of ERG between 1:1000 and 1:10000 - if this is your case I would go to the 1:1000 and see what happens)

Good luck
