Detection of Mouse MFG‑E8 by Western Blot.
Western blot shows lysates of mouse mammary gland tissue. PVDF membrane was probed with 0.25 µg/mL of Goat Anti-Mouse MFG-E8 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF2805) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF019). A specific band was detected for MFG-E8 at approximately 60-70 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.
Detection of Mouse MFG‑E8 by Simple WesternTM.
Simple Western lane view shows lysates of recombinant mouse (rm) MFG-E8, loaded at 50 ng/mL. A specific band was detected for MFG-E8 at approximately 87 kDa (as indicated) using 50 µg/mL of Goat Anti-Mouse MFG-E8 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF2805) followed by 1:50 dilution of HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF019). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using the 12-230 kDa separation system.
