Hi
what is the best buffer to use to elute samples from protein A beads after immunoprecipitation
is it SDS sample buffer or Rehydration buffer with 8% urea and Chaps?

Hi!
When I did CoIP with proteinA-Sepharose last year, I used to equilibrate the beads with NET150, to put the antibodies with NET150, to wash with NET150, to put the proteins, then to wash with NET100. Eluate by heating (5 mn, 100°c)

NET150: TrisHCl pH7.5 50 mM
NaCl 150 mM
NP40 0.05%

NET100: TrisHCl pH7.5 50 mM
NaCl 100 mM
NP40 0.05%

I elute with Laemmli 2X + 10% B-mercaptoethanol, and heat 5min at 95*C.
You can put a high concentration of DTT instead of the B-meEtOH.

thanks, I'll try that

Hi
Every time I run 1-D gel of Immunoprecipitated samples, I get a big band sitting on top of the IP lane, apparently this Immune complex didn't dissociate well with elution. I tried eluting with differnt kinds of buffers and I tried heating with elution, but I still get this band.
How can I improve that or get rid of that band on top?
I appreciate your reply

Mabushi,

What is the molecular weight of the band you see after your IP?
