Re-using membranes with ghost bands - (Oct/26/2011 )

Hi!
My question is if I can reblot a membrane with ghost bands again with the same antibody but less concentrate. Is this possible or I have to repeat the gel?
Thanks
Irene

The Abs don't wash away. You would have to strip the membrane and then reprobe, but this is not very reproducible.

Thank you, I will make a new gel!
