Hi,
I want to homogenize a whole brain from a P5 or P50 mouse. Currently, I am using a dounce homogenizer to homogenize the brain in Lysis buffer.
However, I am getting a low yield of proteins from the brain. I sometimes see a large chunk after the lysis. I am unclear if that is causing a low yield of protein and how can I homogenize a whole brain without leaving any large chunk of tissue or membrane.
After protein extraction, I follow it up with coIP.
