Morpholinos to validate target specificity of antibodies

Here's an example of using Morpholinos to validate target specificity of antibodies.

"To prove specificity of anti-Gli2 and anti-Gli3 antibodies used in this study, X. laevis Gli2- and Gli3-targeted translation-blocking morpholinos (Gli2-MO: GCACAGAACGCAGGTAATGCTCCAT; Gli3-MO: GACTGGGCTTCCATGTTGTCTTCTC) were unilaterally (Gli2-MO) or bilaterally (Gli3-MO) injected at the two-cell-stage. Embryos were processed for Western blot or immunohistochemistry assays and probed with indicated antibodies."
