Semi-dry transfer of high molecular weight proteins

Hi,
I am having problems transfering anything above 70 KD on to my PVDF membrane using semidry transfer [1 hour transfer at constant 400 mA]. We are using Taubin's buffer generally. So here is what I have done so far: A) I have added 0.1% SDS to the Taubin recipe [still at 20% methanol] B) I have reduced the methanol from 20% to 10% and even to 0% C) I have increased the transfer time to overnight at 50 mA (~4-10 V). D) I have decided not to equilibrate the membrane in transfer buffer so I keep more of the proteins Nothing works. Time to quit semidry blotting? There has to be SOMEONE out there that knows the sercret to transfering heavy MW proteins with the semidry method. C'mon folks............. Cheers! Edited 2 times.

8 hours overnight transfer did not help much. Increase to 12-14 hours at the expense of losing smaller proteins?

There is a old post here: [biowww.net]
Invitrogen has NuPAGE ® Large Protein system that maybe useful. Never tried that. Here is the link: [www.invitrogen.com] Good luck.
