co immunoprecipitation

What are the Key Steps in a Co-IP Experiment?

1. Cell Lysis: Tissue samples are lysed to release intracellular proteins.
2. Incubation with Antibody: An antibody specific to the bait protein is added to the lysate.
3. Binding to Beads: Protein A/G beads are introduced to capture the antibody-protein complexes.
4. Washing: Non-specifically bound proteins are washed away.
5. Elution: The antibody-protein complexes are eluted from the beads.
6. Analysis: The eluted proteins are analyzed, commonly by Western blotting or mass spectrometry.
