2 primary antibodies, both binding actin...they shouldn't be :(

02 July 2012 - 05:11 AM

Hey all,
I did a western the other week and used two primary antibodies (mouse anti-actin and rabbit anti-IL7R) and then used two secondaries, (goat anti-mouse, and goat anti-rabbit). Both secondaries are labelled with IR dyes, the anti mouse is 680nm, the anti-rabbit is 800nm.

I admit, I transferred the proteins to PVDF, then incubated with both primaries together, and then both secondaries together.  I ended up with a lovely yellow band at the size of actin, and nothing at the size of IL-7R.  Have I screwed it up? Should I incubate everything separately? Which order would be best?  I figured since I had different species and targets I would be ok to incubate it all together....
