Reviews
What customers say
Users generally rate this antibody favorably, especially for Western blot. Three reviewers reported strong, clear signals at dilutions ranging from 1:1000 to 1:4000 in cell lysates and tissue samples. One user noted the WB signal was slightly weaker than expected but still functional. For immunofluorescence, results were mixed—one reviewer observed good signal but strong background at 1:500 in primary neurons, while another confirmed good IF performance in HEK cells. Overall, the antibody is considered reliable for WB with a high titer, though IF users may need to optimize conditions to reduce background.
The reviews below have been submitted by verified Proteintech customers who received an incentive for providing their feedback.
Baptiste (Verified Customer) (06-08-2026) | Good signal but strong background.
|
Sophy (Verified Customer) (02-27-2023) | The antibody was used at 1:1000 for western blot. The signal showed up but not as strong as expected. But since this was the only antibody purchased for Rab5A, I had no comparison to antibodies to other vendors.
|
Xin (Verified Customer) (01-24-2022) | Very good antibody in WB (25 kD) with a high titer
|
Tom (Verified Customer) (11-13-2020) | HEK293T cell extracts (10ug/lane). Primary antibody (1:2000) in block (5% BSA) incubated at 4 degrees overnight. Goat anti-rabbit HRP secondary antibody (1:10,000) incubated for 1 hour at RT.
