Laboratory sample cleanup is a necessary part for analytical preparation analysis. The removal of Contaminants such as proteins, cell debris and other materials is an important step. Typically this has been done by using Acetonitrile and then Centrifugation to pellet the debris leaving the clean supernant. After this process supernatant can be used for further analysis by HPLC, GC, MS and other analysis tandem methods. HTS Labs. - [Read Protein Precipitation Microplate]

Detection of phosphorylated tyrosine residues can be performed using anti-P-TYR Ab and Western Analysis.Includes 2nd method,which uses phosphotyrosine in conjunction with anti-P-TYR Ab to "unlabel" potential proteins.By comparing Westerns developed with the 1st method(reveals phosphorylated protein) and the 2nd method(reveals non-specific labeling), a more accurate picture of those proteins phosphorylated on tyrosine can be seen. Includes: Protein Preparation, Electrophoresis and Transfer. - [Read Protocol for Antiphosphotyrosine Western Blot Analysis]
Protocol describes a competitive ligand binding assay for cortical neurotrophin receptors.

In Vitro Translated Xenopus Mos Kinase Assay Protocol. In response to progesterone, immature Xenopus oocytes mature to eggs that can be fertilized. The Mos protein kinase is essential for oocyte maturation, most likely due to its ability to activate the MAP kinase cascade. This MAP kinase cascade eventually leads to the activation of Cdc2/cyclin B and entry into M phase. In this protocol, tagged Mos kinase is translated in vitro, immunopurified, and used in a kinase assay.
A protocol for the selection of Phage Antibodies using Immobilized Antigen. This method describes the selection of antibodies from bacteriophage antibody libraries that recognize a specific antigen. The phage display library of antibody-displaying phage particles is exposed to antigen attached to a solid substrate (Nunc Immuno™ tubes). The phage particles with affinity for antigen bind to the immobilized antigen and are selected from the library of phage expressing antibodies.
