Immunoprecipitation.

This immunoprecipitation protocol details individual steps for the enrichment and purification process of specific proteins from a complex cell lysate using an antibody bound to a solid matrix. Purified antigen(s) can be eluted by various methods, and the resultant protein target can be analyzed and/or identified by numerous assays, including the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), western blotting, or mass spectrometry.
