Mouse cells were given to a specific treatment, trypsinized and washed two times with PBS. The cell pellets were first resuspended with CER1 and then CER2 reagent, incubated, centrifuged and the supernatant was collected as cytoplasmic fraction. The pellet was then resuspended in NER reagent, incubated and isolated nuclear fraction. Both fractions were resolved in SDS PAGE and immunoblotted with compartment-specific protein antibodies.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

Protein purification and isolation

Starting Material

Mouse cell, centrifuge

Tips

Proper incubation with reagent is essential

Results Summary

After the preparation of cytoplasmic and nuclear protein fraction, these fractions were analyzed by immunoblotting with compartment-specific proteins. Analysis reveals the presence of p53 proteins only in the nuclear fraction, not in cytoplasmic fractions.

Summary

The Good

Gave a two fraction of cytoplasmic and nuclear protein with high purity

The Bad

There is a chance of 10% contamination between two fractions

The Bottom Line

Easy to use a kit to prepare cytoplasmic and nuclear protein with high purity.
