Figure 1. Western blot analysis of OPTC using anti-OPTC antibody (MBS1759053).
Electrophoresis was performed on a 5-20% SDS-PAGE gel at 70V (Stacking gel)/90V (Resolving gel) for 2-3 hours. The sample well of each lane was loaded with 30 ug of sample under reducing conditions.
Lane 1: human ARPE-19 whole cell lysates,
Lane 2: monkey RF/6A whole cell lysates.
After electrophoresis, proteins were transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane at 150 mA for 50-90 minutes. Blocked the membrane with 5% non-fat milk/TBS for 1.5 hour at RT. The membrane was incubated with rabbit anti-OPTC antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody (#MBS1759053) at 0.5ug/mL overnight at 4 degree C, then washed with TBS-0.1%Tween 3 times with 5 minutes each and probed with a goat anti-rabbit IgG-HRP secondary antibody at a dilution of 1:5000 for 1.5 hour at RT. The signal is developed using an Enhanced Chemiluminescent detection (ECL) kit (#MBS176460) with Tanon 5200 system. A specific band was detected for OPTC at approximately 37 kDa. The expected band size for OPTC is at 37,45 kDa.
