GASA13 Antibody

How does GASA13 antibody validation differ between Western blot and immunohistochemistry protocols?

Basic Validation

• Perform serial dilution tests (1:100-1:2000) in both techniques

• Include positive controls:

  • HEK293 cells overexpressing GASA13 for Western blot

  • Human placental tissue sections for IHC

• Negative controls must use knockout cell lines or peptide-blocked antibody samples

Advanced Validation Challenges

Cross-validate using mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for antibody specificity confirmation .

What experimental strategies resolve contradictions in GASA13 localization studies?

Methodological Framework

• Technical Reconciliation:

  • Compare subcellular fractionation protocols (differential centrifugation vs. sucrose gradients)

  • Standardize lysis buffers across labs (RIPA vs. NP-40 formulations)

• Biological Context Analysis:

  • Map findings against developmental stages using time-course experiments

  • Analyze tissue-specific splice variants via RT-PCR

Advanced Approach
Implement super-resolution microscopy (STED/PALM) with dual-labeling for:

• Co-localization with ER markers (Calnexin)

• Dynamic tracking under hormone stimulation .

Which experimental controls are critical for GASA13 functional studies in plant systems?
