Bibliography on Dentistry in Ancient Mesopotamia?

I am looking for Mesopotamian texts that discuss dentistry. I am searching for both secondary and primary sources. If you can help me, I would appreciate it.

You might try the Code of Hammurabi c.1900 BCE. It is the oldest codified set of medical ethics which curiously mentions "a tooth for a tooth".

I am not sure if that might be referencing dentistry.

You can benefit from Prof. Sr. İlter uzel's book titled "history of dentistry". Volume 1 between pages 11-22 talks about dental medicine in Mesopotamia.

But I would like to remind you that the book is in Turkish.

I am performing a Western Blot and plan on imaging it via ECL. I was told that I don't need a housekeeping gene, is this true?

I have been performing Westerns for awhile now and imaging them via infrared with the LiCOr Odyssey. I would prob for my desired protein and I would also probe for Actin as my housekeeping gene. When it came time to analyze my blot, I could normalize my desired protein to Actin. Now my lab is suggesting that I do chemiluminescence but only probe for my desired protein and do not include Actin. Is this true? I feel like leaving off the housekeeping protein is going to make analyzing the blot more difficult. Or is there another way to analyze the blot?

Why does my western blot turn immediately black when I expose it?

I am running two westerns with the same samples for a FLAG-tagged Cas9 we transfected into HUES cells. I run both gels (4-12% Bis-Tris) in the same gel box, I transfer them (iBlot) at the same time, and I block with the same mL blocking agent (5% BSA or milk-- tried both).

FLAG is the Sigma M2 (mouse), Cas9 is a polyclonal rabbit antibody from diagenonde: https://www.diagenode.com/p/crispr-cas9-polyclonal-antibody

Anti-mouse and anti-rabbit-HRP have been used previously by many members of the lab and work fine.

Upon ECL exposure, the FLAG shows beautiful staining (using an epitope tag purified protein as a + control), but the entire Cas9 membrane turns immediately black *every single time* (n=3), so much so that I'm literally looking at a black membrane on the screen about 15 seconds after I start the exposure. Does anyone know why this might be happening? It's all over the membrane.
