Abstract:

Co-immunoprecipitation is widely used to detect protein-protein interaction in physiological condition. The single-factor method was used to optimize some factors of co-immunoprecipitation, including component concentrations of cell-lysis buffer, antibody dosage, hCLP46 protein quantity, and cross-linking DSP. As a result, the weak interaction between hCLP46 (human CAP10-like protein 46) and ER chaperone calnexin is confirmed. The present work provides an important basis for further study of the protein-protein interaction.

Key words: co-immunoprecipitation(Co-IP), hCLP46, calnexin, optimization factors, protein-protein interaction
