All ABI proteins work in Western blot according to the considerations mentioned for ELISA. For reference use, ABI uses the following procedure for Western blot (to be developed with monoclonal antibodies):
The antigen is electrophoresed on a 4 - 15% polyacrylamide minigel at a density of approximately 4 µg of protein per centimeter of gel width and transferred to PVDF. The membrane is blocked with 1% calfskin gelatin/5% heat inactivated Normal Goat Serum in PBS/0.05% Tween 20 and allowed to air dry while suspended. The membrane is then cut into 3 mm strips, and one strip is incubated with one milliliter of 10 µg/ml (1:100) antibody in blocking buffer for two hours at 37°C. The strip is washed in three changes of PBST20 for five minutes each and incubated with 1 milliliter of diluted Goat anti-mouse IgG-AP (BioRad 170-6520) in 100 mM Tris 150 mM NaCl pH 8.0 supplemented with 5% heat inactivated Normal Goat Serum for one hour at 37°C. The strip is washed as before and developed with BCIP/NBT (BioRad 170-6432) per manufacturer's instructions.
