HOW DID OUR ANTIBODY PERFORM?
ANTIBODY CUSTOMER REVIEW: Phospho-AKT (S473) Polyclonal Antibody (STJ90166)
What was used?Primary antibody: Phospho-Akt (S473) Polyclonal antibody
(STJ90166)
Provider: St John's Laboratory
Dilution ratio: 1:1000
Application: Western Blot
Materials for validation: Mouse liver/colon lysates

What was the protocol?Treatment of Materials Cells were lysed in 1.5 mls of 1X standard RIPA lysis buffer with protease
inhibitors (PMSF and aprotinin) added. After lysis, samples were spun down and 4X sample buffer added. About 35 ul of the lysed cells was separated by SDS-PAGE at 10% and then transferred and blotted
Gel Electrophoresis 10% polyacrylamide gel, constant voltage 120V, 80 min. 50 ug per lane.
Transfer Nitrocellulose membrane
Blocking 1X TBST with 10% skimmed milk powder for 45 minutes.
Primary Antibody Application 1:1000 primary antibody was added to the solution of 1X TBST with 2.5% skimmed milk powder, 4˚C for overnight.
Secondary Antibody Application Secondary antibody (anti-rabbit HRP) was added to the solution of 1X TBST with 2.5% skimmed milk powder with 1:7500 dilution ratio, for 1.5 hours.
Visualisation ECL kit
What was the protocol?Gel electrophoresis information: 10 % polyacrylamide gel, constant voltage 90 V for 90 min.Transfer information: nitrocellulose membrane, 1 piece of gel (semi-dry transfer) at 260 mA for 3 hours

What were the results?
“The results demonstrate that the pS473 Akt can specifically recognize activated Akt in mouse samples. Most likely it will recognize human Akt. Antibody appears quite good.”
Testing results were provided independently by Professor Shairaz Baksh at the University of Alberta. They stated that:
