This article discusses the procedure used to validate the phospho-specificity of antibodies for a given experiment.
- The first step is the incubation of PVDF membranes overnight at 37 oC in 1% calf intestinal alkaline phosphatase, diluted in NE buffer. This buffer is composed of NaCl 10 mM, Tris 5 mM (pH 7.9), MgCl2 1 mM and dithiothreitol 0.1 mM. The PVDF membranes are used after protein transfer is complete following rehydration in 100% methanol and then in water.
- Sister membranes are subjected to NE buffer incubation only, and then rinsed three times in TBST.
- The membranes are blocked in a 5% milk TBST solution.
- Following blocking, the membranes are subjected to overnight incubation in the primary antibody.
- The conventional protocol for the detection of the concentrations of secondary antibodies is permformed as usual.
