24 h after transfection, media were changed with fresh DMEM containing 1% FCS for 24 h. Transfected cells were then rinsed with ice-cold PBS and lysed in IP-lysis buffer (Invitrogen, Courtaboeuf, France). Equal amounts of proteins were precleared overnight at 4 °C using Protein-A/G-agarose (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, CA, USA). Supernatants were incubated with primary antibody against Flag (Sigma Aldrich) and HA-tag (Cell signaling), for 2 h at 4 °C. 50 µL of Protein-A/G-agarose was then added and incubated overnight at 4 °C. Beads were washed three times with IP-lysis buffer; thereafter, 30 µL of Laemmli buffer was added and boiled for 5 min. After centrifugation, supernatants were harvested and processed for SDS-PAGE and Western blot as described above.
Primary antibody against flag
The primary antibody against Flag is a laboratory reagent used to detect and identify proteins that have been engineered to contain a Flag tag. The Flag tag is a small amino acid sequence that can be added to recombinant proteins, allowing them to be recognized and detected by this specific antibody. The primary antibody binds to the Flag tag, enabling the visualization and analysis of the tagged protein in various experimental procedures.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
