Anti-phospho-nNOS/NOS I (Ser1417)

Non-reducing sample buffer can be made and stored for months at room temperature. Here is the formulation for a 2X Non-reducing sample buffer: Water (37ml), 0.5M Tris-HCl (10ml), Glycerol (8ml), 10% SDS (16ml), 0.05% Bromophenol Blue (5ml).

You can check for the phosphospecificity of your antibody using Lambda Protein Phosphatase. Simply perform SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) on a cell lysate and transfer the proteins to your membrane of choice. Wash the blotted nitrocellulose twice with water. Block the blotted nitrocellulose in freshly prepared TBS containing 1% bovine serum albumin (BSA) and 0.1% Triton X-100 for 1 hour at 20-25°C with constant agitation. Incubate the nitrocellulose in TBS containing 1% bovine serum albumin (BSA), 0.1% Triton X-100 and 2 mM MnCl2, and where dephosphorylation of proteins is desirable, 400 U/ml Lambda Protein Phosphatase for two hours at room temperature, or overnight at 4°C. After incubation, wash the nitrocellulose in PBS-0.1% Tween 20 for 3-5 minutes. Rinse the nitrocellulose in 4-5 changes of water. Continue with your western blotting assay.
