Anti-Actin (Nitrocellulose Membrane Loading Control) Antibody
Our anti-actin antibody (made against rabbit muscle actin) recognizes mouse, rat and human actin proteins in SDS-polyacrylamide gel transfers onto nitrocellulose membranes. This loading control assures that similar amounts of total proteins were added to each of the lanes in the gels. Note that this product does not work in transfers using PVDF membranes.
β-Actin Loading Control for Westerns using Nitrocellulose Membranes; 3 Lanes loaded with mouse muscle homogenate (5 µg total protein, 10 µg total protein, 20 µg total protein); primary antibody -- ACT (1:1000); secondary antibody -- HRP Goat anti-chicken IgY (Aves Labs, 1:2000)

Store at -20°C in the dark. Under these conditions, the antibodies should have a shelf life of at least twelve months, provided they remain sterile.
Liquid
Chickens were immunized with purified actin from rabbit muscle emulsified in Freund’s adjuvants. After multiple injections, eggs were collected from the hens, IgY fractions were prepared from the yolks, and then affinity-purified antibodies were prepared using actin conjugated to an agarose matrix. The final product is a mixture of both affinity-purified antibodies (25 µg/mL) and purified IgY (10 mg/mL), mixed with glycerol 1:1 (v/v) (to prevent freezing at -20°C), augmented with sodium azide and then filter-sterilized.
Sodium phosphate (10 mM, pH 7.2) buffered isotonic saline (0.9%, w/v), glycerol (50%, v/v), with sodium azide (0.02%, w/v) as an anti-microbial agent.

This anti-Actin IgY preparation was analyzed by Western Blot analysis (at a dilution of 1:2000) using HRP-labeled goat anti-chicken IgY (1:5000 dilution, Aves Labs Cat. # H-1004) as the secondary reagent.
These antibodies are to be used as research laboratory reagents and are not for use as diagnostic or therapeutic reagents in humans.
