High, 
I do not have an explanation for that but to my experience I can not strip Ab 
from certain membranes (Amersham). E.g. since I used routinely nylon material 
my yields of stripped Ab is reduced to 50% (or even less) of that what I used 
to get in fromer experiments with the same Ab (e.g. from Biorad´s 
NC-membranes).The second thing is, that I know Ab´s you cannot strip except 
using urea or heavy stuff like this.
