Labelling myosin antibody

test myotube cells

material:

• 0.2 M Borate buffer, pH 8
• Biorad protein assay substance
• IgG standard
• Anti myosin antibody (4A1025)
• FlNHS (1.5 mg/ml in DMSO—make up fresh just before use)
• 100mM glycine, pH 7
• 1%BSA in PBS azide
• NAP-5
• NAP-10
• PBS azide

procedure:

1. Measure concentration of myosin antibody using Biorad reagent and rabbit IgG as standard.

Concentration:

1. Equilibrate NAP-5 with 0.2M Borate buffer
2. Add 500 µl of myosin antibody to column
3. Elute with 1ml borate buffer
4. If necessary concentrate antibody to 1-3 mg/ml
5. Add 25 µl of FLNHS per 500 µl of antobody

Added: 8 Incubate 4 hrs at room temp 9 While waiting, equilibrate NAP-10 with PBS/azide 10 Quench with 30 µl of 100 mM glycine per 500 µl Added: 10 minutes 11 Load antibody onto Nap-10 column: (1 ml total)

12 Elute with 1.5 ml PBS/azide 13 Add 150 µl of 1% BSA 14 Store in fridge and test cells at 1:20, 1:50, 1:100, 1:200. 15 Long-term storage: Add 50% v/v glycerol and store at –20 C.
