Hello,

I am looking at protein expression across mouse retina. We use littermate controls so many times our sample size is limited to 4-8 samples. To ensure protein does not degrade, we usually lyse the samples as soon as possible and run them immediately on gels. Because we are limited by how quickly the mice can breed, we are limited to one litter at a time, so our protocol has been one litter one gel. After this we run the experimental probe, and then load control of Beta-Actin. We then do ImageJ quantification and densitometry and take experimental probe/ load control and get normalized expression.

My questions are:

What is the correct way to compare the normalize expression between gels?
