Hey everyone! I'm having difficulty marking the C4 complement factor in Western Blotting. Has anyone had contact with this antibody or made it in-house? I have already used Anti-C4β (D-12) sc-74524 from Santa Cruz Biotechnology.
Thank you!

Antibody Validation: Ensure that the Anti-C4β (D-12) sc-74524 antibody from Santa Cruz Biotechnology is validated for Western Blotting. Sometimes, antibodies might work well in one application but not in others. Antibody Concentration: Adjust the concentration of the antibody. Sometimes using too much or too little can affect the binding and signal. Blocking Conditions: Optimize your blocking conditions. Try different blocking agents like BSA or milk, and different blocking times and temperatures. Secondary Antibody: Check your secondary antibody. Make sure it is compatible with your primary antibody and that it is functioning properly. Sample Preparation: Ensure that your sample preparation is done correctly. Proper lysing of cells and correct loading amounts are crucial. Incubation Times and Conditions: Optimize incubation times and conditions for both primary and secondary antibodies. Sometimes longer or shorter incubation times or different temperatures can improve results. In-House Antibody: If you've considered making the antibody in-house, ensure you have access to the proper equipment and expertise. Producing high-quality antibodies requires precise techniques and conditions. Alternative Antibodies: Consider trying alternative antibodies from different suppliers. Sometimes, an antibody from a different source might work better for your specific application. Technical Support: Contact the technical support team of Santa Cruz Biotechnology. They might provide additional tips or troubleshooting specific to the antibody you're using.
