Agrisera offers several combinations of antibodies to: Rubisco, PSI and PSII proteins, which together with calibrated protein standards can be used to quantify major photosynthetic proteins.

Photosynthesis Tool Kit – quantitation, PSI, PSII, Rubisco, 

(Agrisera), AS04 051

Western Blot Rubisco quantitation kit

(Agrisera), AS09 409

Beside primary antibodies and quantification standards, the kits also contain matching secondary antibodies of high titer, min. 1> 25 000 1h/RT (AS09 602) and suitable chemiluminescent detection reagent, AgriseraBright in mid picogram range. 


Example


Figure 1: Immunoblot of samples of Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 (lanes 1-4) and Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 (lanes 5-8). Molecular weight markers (MagicMark XP, Invitrogen) are in lane 9. Recombinant PsbA protein standards are loaded in lanes 10-12 at 0.05 pmoles, 0.15 pmoles and 0.45 pmoles.

The blot was quantitated with QuantityOne software and the standard curve is shown in Figure 2.
