Here is the culmination of my work with the first batch of Giant Pacific Octopus samples from the Seattle Aquarium. My basic goal for the last month or so was to find protein bands in mucus, the most successful samples are those above (lanes 1-3). I also have a list of things that didn’t work: fecal samples, centricon concentration of the mucus, and LDS instead of SDS. We now have a new batch of mucus samples from Harry the octopus, which I am planning on using up as quickly as possible so I can go on another field trip to the aquarium.
