thereby the membrane could have been overloaded resulting in less effective transfer and fixation of specific complex and free fragment DNA. The blocking solution used could be optimized for reduced background, possibly eliminating the unspecific protein signal.
Finally, different exposure times, which make a comparison of the HS fragment experiments difficult, should be consistent. A time series for pictures can be set up at the Biorad imager to find the best exposure time.
