Figure 1. Western blot analysis of TWEAK/Tnfsf12 using anti-TWEAK/Tnfsf12 antibody (A02009-3). 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 unde r reducing conditions. Lane 1: rat skeletal muscle tissue lysates, Lane 2: rat heart tissue lysates, Lane 3: mouse heart tissue 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-TWEAK/Tnfsf12 antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody (Catalog # A02009-3) at 0.5 microg/mL overnight at 4°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 (Catalog # EK1002) with Tanon 5200 system. A specific band was detected for TWEAK/Tnfsf12 at approximately 27 kDa. The expected band size for TWEAK/Tnfsf12 is at 22 kDa.
