Antibody Characterization Report for PATL2

This article presents characterization data that can be utilized as a guide to select high-performing antibodies for Protein PAT1 homolog 2 (PATL2), encoded by the PATL2 gene. Six commercial and custom-made antibodies were evaluated  in western blot and immunoprecipitation experiments using a standardized protocol that compares readouts in isogenic parental controls and knockout cell lines. A human PATL2 construct in the pcDNA3-1(+) vector (cloned at GenScript) was obtained to overexpress the protein. This study will be revisited, and immunofluorescence will be performed once additonal custom recombinant antibodies are available on commercial catalogs.
