    - Select protein beads according to the antibody with reference to the table down below.
1. Suspend cells mixed with PBS buffer in ice-cold lysis buffer1.
2. Sonicate for several minutes.
3. Spin the lysate for 15 minutes at 14,000 x g with a pre-cooled centrifuge.
4. Transfer the supernatant to a fresh tube.
5. After washing with PBS buffer twice, keep protein A/G agarose beads in 50% slurry state in PBS (use blunt-tipped pipette in this procedure).
6. Add 10 ㎕ of protein A/G slurry into 1 ㎖ of cell lysate and incubate for 1hour at 4℃ to pre-clear cell lysate.
7. Spin the lysate for 1 minute at 3,000rpm at 4℃ to remove protein A/G slurry.
8. Transfer the supernatant to a fresh tube.
9. Mix adequate amount of immunoprecipitation antibody with 200 ㎕ pre-cleared cell lysate(1 ㎎/㎖).
10. Pour lysis buffer to total amount of 500 ㎕.
11. React cell lysate/antibody mixture for 2 hours at 4℃ on an orbital shaker.
12. After adding protein A/G slurry 10ug to capture immune complex, react for 2 hours at 4℃.
13. Spin for 1 minute at 3,000rpm at 4℃.
14. Remove the supernatant.
15. Wash out protein A/G slurry with lysis buffer three times, spin for 1 minute at 3,000rpm at 4℃.
16. Mix beads well with 20ul of 1x sample buffer.
17. Boil protein A/G beads for 5 minutes to separate immune complex.
18 Separate beads by centrifuge and perform SDS-PAGE, immunoblotting with the supernatant (see SDS-PAGE, immunoblotting).m
