Osenses Protocols: Western Blot

.................................................................................................................................................................................

1. Run the SDS-PAGE at 250V.

2. Soak the gel for 10 min in transfer buffer then rinse it with RO water.

3. Soak the membrane for 5 min in MQ water.

4. Semi-dry transfer at 10 V

5. After transfer, rinse once the membrane with 200 mM NaCl and then wash 3x, 5 min each with 200 mM NaCl in 100 ml. Shake at 50 RPM.

6. Block with 1xPBS containing 1% LFDM for 30 min at RT with shake at 50 RPM.

7. Rinse with 70 ml of 200 mM NaCl.

8. Assemble the MPX (from LiCore) and add the primary antibodies (160 µl/channel). Incubate O/N in the fridge (3-5C).

9. Aspirate the antibodies and disassemble the MPX. Wash the membrane 5 times (5 min each) with 200 mM NaCl-T containing 0.1% Tween-20. Wash in 100 ml with shake 50 RPM.

10. Add the Sigma HRP-Goat anti Gp (diluted 1: 15,000). Add 6 ml per membrane (6x8 cm). Incubate 30 min to 1 hour at RT with 50 RPM shake.

11. Wash 4 times (5min each) with shake 70 RPM with 100 ml of 200 mM NaCl-T containing 0.1% Tween-20.

12. Wash 6 times more with 100 ml of 200 mM NaCl with shake 50 RPM.

13. Prepare the ECL substrate from BioRad. Use 800 µl per membrane (400µl+ 400 µl).

14. Pipette 800 µl of the substrate on the glass of the C-Digit. Place the membrane face down on the substrate, avoid air bubbles. Cover the membrane with Gladwrap and incubate 2 minutes. Then roll over the membrane. Scan the blot on C-Digit at High resolution (12 minutes).
