Pull-down is an extension of co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) for the capture and isolation of a target protein (i.e., the antigen) as well as its associated partners. Tag-based IP and pull-down strategies utilize a "bait" protein instead of an antibody to capture protein-interaction targets by utilizing an affinity resin to the bait protein that is biotinylated his-, GST-, c-Myc or HA-tagged.

  • More choices—different strategies to accommodate various labeled bait proteins, elution conditions, and downstream analysis needs
  • Complete—kits include all controls and lysis, binding, wash, and elution buffers
  • Fast—spin columns and collection tubes are included that shorten the protocol and minimize sample handling
  • Flexible—can scale up or down as needed using adaptable protocol

Effectiveness of elution options in the IP of GST-HA and GST-c-Myc from bacterial lysates.

IP results achieved with the Thermo Scientific Pierce HA IP/Co-IP Kit and c-Myc IP/Co-IP Kit using the appropriate positive control lysate provided and suggested elution options for GST-HA and GST-cMyc, respectively. The elution components are supplied with each kit. Elution #1 performed with elution buffer; Elution #2 performed with 2X nonreducing sample buffer.
