Application Notes

Immunoprecipitation 1) Wash the cells 3 times with PBS and suspend with 10 volume of cold Lysis buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.2, 250 mM NaCl, 0.1% NP-40, 2 mM EDTA, 10% glycerol) containing appropriate protease inhibitors. Incubate it at 4 o C with rotating for 30 minutes, then sonicate briefly (up to 10 seconds). 2) Centrifuge the tube at 12,000 x g for 10 minutes at 4 o C and transfer the supernatant to another tube. 3) Add primary antibody as suggested in the Applications into 400 µL of the supernatant. Mix well and incubate with gentle agitation for 30-120 minutes at 4 o C. Add 20 µL of 50% protein A agarose beads resuspended in the cold Lysis buffer. Mix well and incubate with gentle agitation for 60 minutes at 4 o C. 4) Wash the beads 3-5 times with the cold Lysis buffer (centrifuge the tube at 2,500 x g for 10 seconds). 5) Resuspend the beads in 20 µL of Laemmli’s sample buffer, boil for 3-5 minutes, and centrifuge for 5 minutes. Use 10 µL/lane for the SDS-PAGE analysis. 6) Blot the protein to a polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane at 1 mA/cm 2 for 1 hour in a semi-dry transfer system (Transfer Buffer - 25 mM Tris, 190 mM glycine, 20% MeOH). See the manufacture's manual for precise transfer procedure. 7) To reduce nonspecific binding, soak the membrane in 10% skimmed milk (in PBS, pH 7.2) for 1 hour at room temperature, or overnight at 4 o C. 8) Incubate the membrane with the 10 µg / mL anti-caspase-3 antibody (MBL, code no.K0197-3) diluted with 1% skimmed milk (in PBS, pH 7.2) for 1 hour at room temperature. 9) Wash the membrane with PBS (5 minutes x 6 times). 10) Incubate the membrane with the 1:10,000 HRP-conjugated anti-mouse IgG (MBL code no. 330) diluted with 1% skimmed milk (in PBS, pH 7.2) for 1 hour at room temperature. 11) Wash the membrane with PBS (5 minutes x 6 times). 12) Wipe excess buffer from the membrane, then incubate it with appropriate chemiluminescence reagents for 1 minute. Remove extra reagent from the membrane by dabbing with a paper towel, and seal it in plastic wrap. 13) Expose to X-ray film in a dark room for 3 minutes. Develop the film as usual. The conditions for exposure and development may vary.
