Hi all,
I just isolated some protein from my neutrophils yesterday and ran this SDS-PAGE today. For reference, I made a 15% gel recipe (as my protein, LC3B, is very light) and ran the gel at 80V for 30 min and 120V for one hour. I loaded 40ug of protein per well (which came out to be 28 uL), and 5 uL of protein ladder.
As you can see, my bands seem to be "spilling over" into other wells and my mark lanes are not straight or defined. I have been having this problem for a long time and I am wonder why? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
