Hi

I need to lyse THP1 monocytes and then use western blotting to quantify the levels of certain proteins in the lysate.  I tried lysing the cells with RIPA buffer, but the high detergent concentration was incompatable with running a gel.  I then tried Lamberts Break buffer, but the total protein concentration of my lysare was extremely low (i.e. the cells didnt lyse).

Does anyone have any suggestions ass to how I can successfully lyse THP1s in a buffer that is compatable with SDS PAGE??

Thank you in advance!!

I dont think RIPA would interfere your gel run!! post your RIPA composition and also tell how it interferes in the running of lysate...
I would prefer being perfectionist rather than a passionist in Research.

I always had an alternate hypothesis....
