This antibody has been tested in Western blotting against equal loadings of purified wild type survivin, 2B and DEx3. When used at 1/250, it detects a single clean (but weak) band of the appropriate size for DEx3, but no band is detected with wild type survivin or 2B. We have not succeeded in detecting endogenous Survivin DEx3 using this antibody (Survivin DEx3 is expressed at very low levels). This antibody has been used successfully however, to detect overexpressed Survivin DEx3 in whole cell extracts.
