Recombinant protein or a chemically synthesized bioactive fragment is immobilized on resin and used as a probe to capture interacting proteins directly from a cell extract. Affinity-purified proteins are fractionated by gel electrophoresis and visualized by Coomassie staining. Proteins that interact specifically are identified by comparing this gel profile to one obtained from cell lysates passed over a control resin lacking the immobilized probe protein. - [Read Affinity Purification of Interacting Proteins from Cell Lysates Protocol]
Protocol allows you to measure the content of cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP or cAMP) in splenic B lymphocytes (B cells) in an enzyme-linked immunoassay. This protocol utilizes acetylation of cAMP to improve sensitivity and reduce interference. Protocol includes information on: how to determine cAMP, calculations and reagents and materials. - [Read Assay of Cyclic AMP in Lysates of Cells]

A crude lysate gel assay can be performed to roughly quantitate the DNA in lysates. This is often a valuable time saving step to determine if the phage yield is sufficient to warrant continuing the procedure. - [Read Gel Assay to Determine DNA Content of Phage Lysates Protocol]
For immunoblotting experiments, it is often important to compare the total amount of an antigen from many different sources or to learn if a particular source has the antigen under study. In the approach described here, tissue cultures, bacteria, yeast cells, tissues, and other sources of antigens are disrupted directly in an electrophoresis sample . - [Read Immunoblotting: Preparing Cell Lysates Protocol]
For many sources of antigens, one useful method of lysis is to treat cells with harsh, denaturing solutions to release most of the protein antigens, as described here. The lysates are then diluted to reduce the denaturing conditions to levels that are suitable for the formation of antibody-antigen complexes. The resulting solution is precleared prior to immunoprecipitation. - [Read Immunoprecipitation: Denaturing Lysis Protocol]
5 ml liquid lysates are prepared when a small amount of DNA from a large number of lambda clones is needed. The lysates can be made using 10- 20 ul of a stock lysate or a 100-fold amplified phage "macroplaque" as the inoculum. - [Read Liquid Phage Lysates Protocol]
To prepare phage lysates to be used for small or large scale phage DNA preps. This method usually produces lysates with titers of 2-8x10e10 pfu/ml. - [Read Phage Plate Stock Lysates Protocol]
This protocol provides a sufficient sample for several determinations of cAMP using the acetylation protocol. The method chosen for measuring the content of cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP or cAMP) in splenic B lymphocytes (B cells) is an enzyme linked immunoassay system. Protocol includes information on: Treatment of Cells and Preparation of Extracts; Reagents and Materials. - [Read Preparation of B-Lymphocyte Lysates for Cyclic AMP Determination]
In this protocol, a bacterial lysogen is constructed from a recombinant bacteriophage {lambda} encoding a fusion protein of interest. The resulting lysogenic colonies are induced to synthesize the fusion protein, which is then isolated in preparation for functional and biochemical analyses. - [Read Preparation of Lysates Containing Fusion Proteins Encoded by Bacteriophage {lambda} Lysogens]
