I am currently performing western blot on cell media. I extracted proteins using acetone but I have no idea which loading control to use. Any suggestions?
if the cell media is with calf serum you will have trouble with the serum albumin (lot of it on the gel....) for the control it depends what you want to see: medium without cells can be an option....
so if you have no FBS in your culture medium you will be eventually also able to concentrate it. Your control could be medium which has not been use to grow cells or the same medium used to grow cells that you know are not expressing the TDP43.
