Western Blot Feedback - (Dec/13/2006 )

I just got his blot yesterday for a 37 kda protein. Two questions:

Why am I getting multiple bands? I used a polyclonal antibody. Does it have something to do with it?

Why does the MW looks curved. I saw the gel ruuning curved. Is it the voltage or could be the wells got distorted when I removed the combs?

Thanks for any help

I tried posting the pic up, but its not loading bcos it s TIF extension. I will upload it tommorow.

if each of your blots (from each well) shows as smilling face like this smile.gif . your voltage is too high. try low voltage.

or.. if you are using pre-cast gel and entire blot looks uneven... well.. blame your pre-cast gel.. that happens sometimes.
