Hi all
I have been facing a lot of problems with my western blot development.
1) First I failed to develop my target protein on x-ray although every time I got a fine band for my control(beta actin). however I was using a protein content of 20 micrograms only, then I went for higher concentration i.e 50 micro gram and it fetched good bands for my protein/s, even after striping thrice my membrane.
2) Now I am facing an another problem of not getting any band even at 50 micro gram- this time it is totally unusual in the sense that for beta actin this time I got differential bands and for target proteins no bands at all. o sort out I stripped the membranes and repeated the probing for my loading controls, this time they developed perfectly fine and when i repeated it with my proteins of interest, no bands again.
Now I am confused that is it my ECL which has lost activity and behaving so insanely or it is the primary antibodies, which might have been exhausted in the previous probing.....
Any suggestions would be helpful to me....
Thanking you in advance
