Validating Protein Interactions with co-IP Using Endogenous and Tagged Protein Models

Immunoprecipitation (IP) leverages the specificity of an antibody to enrich proteins in a sample and investigate its interactions with other macromolecules. This presentation includes a general workflow for co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP) and what you should consider before setting up your experiment, including:

– Choice of model system;
– Choice of cell lysis buffers and when to include a pre-clear step;
– Primary antibody dilution and choice of beads;
– How to mitigate IgG masking by heavy and light chains;
– Using epitope tags for IP: advantages and key optimization considerations;
– Controls for IP experiments targeting post-translational modifications.
