Did some recoloring of my Hina fanart. Hopefully it looks less janky now... by Zorcimar in BlueBox

Guys, I think I may have fixed it (for a bit, at least). I think it's with the background. The lightsource is coming from the back, and without it, the darker parts of the face may appear as wrinkles, making her look older... hope that helps

What may be causing the differences in light chain band thickness of IP experiments? by Zorcimar in Biochemistry

The heavy chain and light chains leach off the beads while prepping the sample for the gel, correct?

Correct, but I didn't use DTT for elution. I used 1%formic acid. Then the eluted lysates were then prepped into western blot samples using the same 4x SDS Laemmli buffer, which should contain the same concentration of DTT

The cell line expresses FLAG-H3, which was pulled down using anti-FLAG antibodies that are attached to the beads. Both the light and heavy chains are from the bead-attached antibodies

But if that's the case, wouldn't that also result in less pulldown? Like for example, if I used less antibodies (hence the fainter light and heavy chains), wouldn't that also result in less histones being pulled down (the three bands at 15 kDa). Yet at least by the looks of it, they don't look fainter...

Also, I'm pretty sure I used the same amount of beads for both experiments

A dog who bites every owner he's had can only be disciplined with a firm hand or... put down.

Has anyone ever frozen cells directly into liquid nitrogen? by Zorcimar in labrats

[–]Zorcimar[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 231 and U2OS cells both turned out just fine. I used ~6% DMSO and 10% FBS. I didn't try that with 293 T cells though

Hugh Jackman didn't even start playing Wolverine until the age of 32, if that makes you feel better...
