    Anti-GAPDH Mouse mAb - Loading Control

    Catalog number :AT0002
    loading...
    Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) catalyzes the phosphorylation of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate during glycolysis. Though differentially expressed from tissue to tissue, GAPDH is thought to be a constitutively expressed housekeeping protein. For this reason, GAPDH mRNA and protein levels are often measured as controls in experiments quantifying specific changes in expression of other targets. Recent work has elucidated roles for GAPDH in apoptosis, gene expression, and nuclear transport. GAPDH may also play a role in neurodegenerative pathologies such as Huntington and Alzheimer's diseases.
    GAPDH is a 146 kDa tetramer composed of four 30-40 kDa subunits. This antibody recognizes the monomer (36 kDa).

    Recommended secondary antibody: Goat anti mouse IgG-HRP (Engibody, Catalog number:AT0098)
    Recommended ECL: ECL Pico-Detect™ Western Chemiluminescent HRP Substrate (Engibody, Catalog number: IF6747)


    Protocols
    Western Blotting Procedure
     
    1. Lyse approximately 107 cells in 0.5 mL of ice-cold Cell Lysis Buffer (formulation provided below). This buffer, a modified RIPA buffer, is suitable for recovery of most proteins, including membrane receptors, cytoskeletal-associated proteins, and soluble proteins. This cell lysis buffer formulation is available as a separate product which requires supplementation with protease inhibitors immediately prior to use (Cat. # FNN0011, thermofisher). Other cell lysis buffer formulations, such as Laemmli sample buffer and Triton-X 100 buffer, are also compatible with this procedure. Additional optimization of the cell stimulation protocol and cell lysis procedure may be required for each specific application.
     
    2. Remove the cellular debris by centrifuging the lysates at 14,000 x g for 10 minutes. Alternatively, lysates may be ultra-centrifuged at 100,000 x g for 30 minutes for greater clarification.
     
    3. Carefully decant the clarified cell lysates into clean tubes and determine the protein concentration using a suitable method, such as the Bradford assay. Polypropylene tubes are recommended for storing cell lysates.
     
    4. React an aliquot of the lysate with an equal volume of 2x Laemmli Sample Buffer (125 mM Tris, pH 6.8, 10% glycerol, 10% SDS, 0.006% bromophenol blue, and 130 mM dithiothreitol [DTT]) and boil the mixture for 90 seconds at 100°C.
     
    5. Load 10-30 µg of the cell lysate into the wells of an appropriate single percentage or gradient mini-gel and resolve the proteins by SDS-PAGE.
     
    6. In preparation for the Western transfer, cut a piece of PVDF slightly larger than the gel. Soak the membrane in methanol for 1 minute, then rinse with ddH2O for 5 minutes. Alternatively, nitrocellulose may be used.
     
    7. Soak the membrane, 2 pieces of Whatman paper, and Western apparatus sponges in transfer buffer (formulation provided below) for 2 minutes.
     
    8. Assemble the gel and membrane into the sandwich apparatus.
     
    9. Transfer the proteins at 140 mA for 6°C 0-90 minutes at room temperature.
     
    10. Following the transfer, rinse the membrane with Tris buffered saline for 2 minutes.
     
    11. Block the membrane with blocking buffer (formulation provided below) overnight at 4°C or for one hour at room temperature. 
     
    12. Incubate the blocked blot with primary antibody at a 1:1000 starting dilution in Tris buffered saline supplemented with 1% Ig-free BSA and 0.1% Tween-20 overnight at 4°C or for two hours at room temperature.
     
    13. Wash the blot with several changes of Tris buffered saline supplemented with 0.1% Tween 20.
     
    14. Detect the primary antibody band using an appropriate secondary antibody, such as goat anti-rabbit IgG conjugated HRP (Cat. # AT0097-100ul, Engibody) or goat anti-mouse IgG conjugated HRP (Cat. # AT0098-100ul, Engibody) in conjunction with your chemiluminescence reagents and instrumentation.
    Troubleshooting Guide
    Western Blot Troubleshooting
    1. No signal
    2. High background
    3. Non specific bands
    4. Incorrect band size
    5. White bands on black/grey blot
    6. ‘Smear’
     
    1. Troubleshooting:  NO SIGNAL
    Sample preparation 
    • Untested species? Positive control. Check alignment. 
    • Not enough antigen in the sample or loaded onto the gel.
    Transfer to the membrane
    • Poor transfer to membrane.
    • Excessive washing.
    Blocking
    • Too much blocking. Optimize blocking agent, concentration and time
    • Cross-reaction blocking agent / antibody.
    Antibody incubation and detection
    • Not enough antibody.
    • Incorrect secondary antibody.
    • Detection kit is old - substrate inactive.
     
    2. Troubleshooting:  HIGH BACKGROUND
    Transfer to the membrane 
    • Choice of membrane.
    Blocking
    • Need to block for longer. 
    • Optimize blocking agent, concentration.
    • Cross-reaction between blocking agent and primary or secondary.
    • Phospho-specific proteins: use Casein to block.
    Antibody incubation and detection
    • Primary antibody concentration too high. 
    • Incubation temperature too high.
     
    3. Troubleshooting:  NON SPECIFIC BANDS
    Sample preparation
    • Cell lines can accumulate differences in their protein expression profiles.
    • Protein has multiple modified forms, altering mobility.
    • Target protein is in fragments – degradation by proteases or cleaved.
    • Splice variants / isoforms or possibly proteins from the same family.
    • Multimers (dimers) of protein (reduce and denature).
    • Bands may be non-specific. Run a no primary control
     Blocking
    • Insufficient blocking. Optimizing concentration, time. 
    Antibody incubation and detection
    • Primary or secondary antibody concentration too high. 
    • Antibody has not been purified.
     
    4. Troubleshooting:  INCORRECT BAND SIZE
    Sample preparation
    • Ensure sample is reduced and denatured unless stated otherwise on the datasheet.
    • Check for isoforms.
    • Is the sample a recombinant fragment? These will run at a different size.
     
    5. Troubleshooting:  WHITE BANDS/ BLACK BLOT
    • Too much primary and/or too much secondary antibody.
     
    6. Troubleshooting: ‘Smear’
    • Overloading, Protein degradation.
