PVDF Membrane was probed with 0.1 µg/mL of Goat Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat GDF-8/Myostatin Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF788) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (HAF109). A specific band was detected for GDF-8/Myostatin at approximately 14 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 3." class="big_lightbox" target="_blank"> Western Blot GDF-8/Myostatin Antibody [Unconjugated]
