Antibody information

Mouse monoclonal IgG1

Company: BD Transduction

Antibody: COMT

Catalog number: 611970

Summary: Mouse monoclonal IgG1 against mouse COMT (aa. 26-141). Reacts with rat and mouse. Suitable for western blot and immunofluorescence.

Validation Method

Western blot

Sample

Brain tissue from WT and COMT−/− mice. Tissues were lysed in ice-cold RIPA buffer (Teknova) with 10 mm PMSF (Fluka) and Complete Protease Inhibitor Cocktail (Roche).

Blocking agent

5% nonfat dry milk in buffer containing 1 M Tris-buffered saline and 0.05% Tween for 30 min.

Primary incubation

1:1,000 dilution overnight at 4°C.

Secondary incubation

1:5,000 dilution in goat anti-mouse peroxidase-conjugated (Jackson ImmunoResearch) for 1 h at room temperature.

Detection

Enhanced chemiluminescence (PerkinElmer) and exposed to film (Denville Scientific).
