What protein should I use to block a transfer membrane for a western blot? My name is Srikanth, Iamp;#39;m a product scientist at Cell Signaling Technology, and this is CST Tech Tips. (music chiming) In regards to western blotting, a common question we always get is, what should I use, milk or BSA to block? So the purpose of blocking step is to reduce the amount of background due to non-specific bonding. Now BSA is only made up of one protein, BSA, at 60 kDa, whereas milk is made up of many proteins, all of various sizes. So you get a much better chance to reduce more of the background banding. We recommend that you use 5% milk in TBST, shaken for one hour at room temperature, to block all of our non-conjugate primary antibodies. Now this includes phospho-specific and total antibodies. Now I can already hear the clicking, comments, and hashtags, asking about what about the phosphatases in milk? Well, there are some papers out there that discourage you from using milk for phospho signa

A blotchy background can be due to a dry membrane or insufficient washing; both problems are readily solved by ensuring that the blot is immersed at all times. Additional handling precautions should be taken to prevent accidental contamination from common laboratory sources.
To reduce high background due to high antibody concentration, titrate the antibodies. A dot blot can be used to titrate both primary and secondary antibodies in a checkerboard like pattern. Blocking the membrane is a crucial step that prevents non-specific binding of antibody to the membrane.
High background is a very common problem in Western Blots / WB detection. High background in a Western Blot means a high signal / noise ratio, and it affects the detection of your protein of interest badly.
5 Steps to Reducing Background in Western Blots STEP 1: Use clean, fresh buffers. STEP 2: Use the correct blocking agent. STEP 3: Dont skimp on the wash steps! STEP 4: Find the best exposure time for your chosen detection method. STEP 5: Optimize your antibody concentrations.
Primary and secondary antibody concentration may be too high. If the antibody concentration is very high, then the substrate is consumed very quickly. This means very little light is absorbed at this point, leading to a white band when you image the blot. Dilute the antibody to its optimal concentration.
Using a detergent, usually Tween-20, is recommended. NP-40 is a stronger detergent that can be used in place of Tween if necessary. If background is still present, a high salt wash can be useful for removing background bands.
High background in a Western Blot means a high signal / noise ratio, and it affects the detection of your protein of interest badly. The following are Western Blot troubleshooting guide for easy to solve high background issues, and can help you get sucessful Western Blotting results.
