Here’s a structured FAQ collection for researchers working with At1g61460 Antibody, integrating technical specifications and methodological insights from peer-reviewed data:
Protein Localization: Immunofluorescence in Arabidopsis root or leaf tissues to study subcellular distribution .
Kinase Activity Assays: Co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) with downstream substrates to map signaling pathways.
Stress Response Profiling: Quantify At1g61460 expression under abiotic stress (e.g., salinity, drought) via ELISA or WB .
Protein-Protein Interaction Networks: Combine Co-IP with mass spectrometry to identify novel binding partners.
| Strategy | Rationale | |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-Absorption | Incubate antibody with recombinant At1g61460 protein before application | Saturates antibody binding sites, eliminating non-specific signals |
| Tagged Protein Rescue | Express HA/FLAG-tagged At1g61460 in knockout lines | Distinguishes endogenous vs. exogenous protein in WB/IF |
Positive Control: Arabidopsis tissue overexpressing At1g61460 (e.g., transgenic lines).
Technical Replicates: Triplicate WB/ELISA runs to assess inter-assay variability.
| Factor | Impact | Mitigation Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| Tissue-Specific Isoforms | Alternative splicing in roots vs. leaves | Use isoform-specific primers/probes in RT-qPCR |
| Post-Translational Modifications | Phosphorylation alters antibody binding | Treat extracts with phosphatases pre-WB |
| Growth Conditions | Light/temperature stress alters protein levels | Standardize growth protocols across labs |
| Parameter | Value | Source |
