Polyclonal antibodies can be isolated from animal plasma or serum using the procedure described in this protocol. The Gradiflow BF400 instrument has two liquid streams that circulate through a separation cartridge positioned between two electrodes and composed of three hydrogel polyacrylamide membranes, which define the channels for the two sample streams. The central membrane forms a physical barrier between the two streams. - [Read Preparation of Polyclonal Antibodies from Plasma or Serum Using the Gradiflow BF400]
Novel strategy of immunizing a phosphorylated peptide or a synthetic phosphopeptide, which corresponds to the protein phosphorylated at a targeted residue. Method has been applied to the production of antibodies that can specifically recognize the other types of site-specific protein modification, such as acetylation, methylation, and proteolysis. - [Read Functional Analyses for Site-Specific Phosphorylation of a Target Protein in Cells]
