1.2.
2 x 10min 0.2% PBS-Triton (PBS-T) washes.
1.3.
Block 1hr in blocking buffer.
1.4.
Incubate in primary antibody diluted in blocking buffer overnight.
1.5.
3 x 10min 0.2% PBS-T washes.
1.6.
Incubate in secondary antibody diluted in blocking buffer for 2hrs.
1.7.
2 x 10min PBS-T washes.
1.8.
2 x 10min PBS washes.
