I am working with total Foxo1 protein and I am using an antibody from Cell Signaling (Foxo1 (L27) Antibody #9454)). However, the antibody seems to give very very faint band around 80 kD for liver tissue and hepatocyte cell lysate. Although it is total protein but i found it gives almost no signal when blocked with 5% skim milk in TBS. I noticed while blocking with 5% BSA in TBS it gives band. Also I had to increase the initial dilution to 4 fold than the recommended dilution to get signal. Now I wish to make the band look better as its faint. Is there any way, like may be reducing washing steps?

Thanks.
