| Recommended dilution | 1: 2000 (WB) | |
| Expected | apparent MW | 63.2 | 44 kDa (on urea gel), 55 kDa (no urea) | |
| Confirmed reactivity | Arabidopsis thaliana, Nicotiana tabacum | |
| Predicted reactivity | Glycine max, Oryza sativa, Ricinus communis, Zea mays, Vitis vinifera | |
| Not reactive in | Chlamydomonas reinhardtii | |
| Additional information | For best results with this antibody sample buffer needs to contain 6 M urea (138mM TrisHCl pH 6.8, 6M urea, 22.2% Glycerol, 4.3% SDS). STN7 is a nuclear encoded protein which is localized in chloroplast, hence posses a chloroplastic target peptides (cTP) at the beginning of the amino acid sequence which is cut off. Accroding to TargetP (program that predicts the length of the cTP:s) the length of cTP for Stn7 is 45aa. STN7 portein mobility can be also affected by urea present in the gel. | |

Thylakoids 3 ug of chlorophyll/lane from Arabidopsis thaliana were extracted according to Sirpiö et al (2011, Methods Mol Biol. 2011;775:19-30) and were separated on 12 % SDS-PAGE containing 6 M urea and blotted 1h to PVDF. Blots were blocked with 5% milk in TTBS for 1h at room temperature (RT) with slow agitation. Blot was incubated in the primary antibody at a dilution of 1: 1 000 over night at 4°C with slow agitation in 1 % milk TTBS . The antibody solution was decanted and the blot was rinsed briefly only once, then washed once for 15 min only in TBS-T at RT with vigorous agitation. Blot was incubated in secondary antibody (anti-rabbit IgG horse radish peroxidase conjugated ) diluted to 1:10 000 in 1% milk in TTBS for 2h at 4°C with slow agitation. The blot was washed as above and incubated for 5 min with ECL-solution according to the manufacturers instructions. Exposure time was 1 min.
To avoid cross-reactivity with LHC proteins a gel can be run further to let proteins below 25 kDa leave a gel.
