Hi,
I would like to know if anyone has experience with electroblotting, and
western detection of very small proteins (2-8 kDa). I am running 16.5%T,
6%C tris-tricine gels with a 10%T spacer gel. These give reasonable
resolution. I am having trouble getting reproducible transfer of these
proteins (standard tris/glycine/20% methanol transfer buffer) and am
getting no signal on western blots. A control protein of 10 kD gives a
positive on the western with the same antibody (and the small proteins
contain the epitope to which that antibody was raised). I have tried small
pore (0.1 um) nitrocellulose and PVDF membranes. I would appreciate any
suggestions.
Thank you, Susan
