Description:
K562 lysate was prepared by homogenization in modified RIPA buffer (150 mM sodium
chloride, 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 1 mM ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, 1 mM
phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, 1% Triton X-100, 1% sodium deoxycholic acid, 0.1%
sodium dodecylsulfate, 5 μg/ml of aprotinin, 5 μg/ml of leupeptin). Cell debris was
removed by centrifugation. Protein concentration was determined with Bio-Rad protein
assay. The K562 lysate was boiled for 5 min in 1 x SDS sample buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl
pH 6.8, 12.5% glycerol, 1% sodium dodecylsulfate, 0.01% bromophenol blue) containing
5% β-mercaptoethanol.
Application notes:
Centrifuge vial before use. K562 cell lysate is ready to load on SDS-PAGE for Western blot, 10-20 µg/lane is recommended for mini gel. The optimal concentration should be determined by the user for each specific application.
