Does anyone know what might be causing the smeared bands on my western blot?

I got these smeared bands quite often lately. We typically run the gel at 140V with a 10-12% gel and do a wet transfer at 220 mA for 1.5 hr in cold room. We also noticed some dirty spots/dots (see...

I use the one purchased from epitomics (newly merge with Abcam) DNA-PK phospho-S2056. It works great with irradiated MCF7 cells!

Thanks Anthony!

Do you know if it works for mouse as well?

John Tainer

I think there is an issue with the antibodies for the mouse system - you need to double check this.
