Reviews
What customers say
Most reviewers report good to very strong Western Blot performance, with one user highlighting a high titer at 25 kD and another confirming reliable signal in HEK293T cells. Immunofluorescence results were generally positive, though one user noted strong background when staining primary mouse neurons. A couple of reviewers found the WB signal weaker than expected, though still usable. Overall, the antibody is well-regarded for WB across multiple cell types and tissues, with dilutions ranging from 1:500 to 1:4000 depending on the application.
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.
