Positive control
β-actin is ubiquitously expressed at high levels in nearly all eukaryotic tissues and cells. It is also widely expressed in common cell lines.
Negative control
Due to the ubiquitous expression of β-actin, negative controls are challenging to create however since β-actin is a cytoskeletal protein, subcellular fractionation may be sufficient to provide a negative control. Due to its high expression, care should be taken to ensure that fractionation is complete without any cytoskeletal contamination.
