Protease Inhibitor Cocktail
(Roche)
Phosphatase Inhibitor
Cocktail tablets PhosSTOP
(Roche)
Prepare a stock of 10×
buffer without DTT and
protease inhibitors. Add
DTT and protease inhibitor
directly before the
experiment.
One Protease Inhibitor
Cocktail tablet for 50 ml
buffer.
One Phosphatase Inhibitor
Cocktail tablet for 50 ml
buffer.
IP-wash buffer 50 mM HEPES-KOH, pH 7.5
300 mM KCl
0.05% (v/v) NP40
Not every antibody will
retain its binding ability in
300 mM KCl – adjust the
salt concentration
accordingly. If in doubt, use
lysis buffer instead for
washing.

500 mM KCl
0.05% (v/v) NP40
Not every antibody will
retain its binding ability in
500 mM KCl – adjust the
salt concentration
accordingly. If in doubt, use
lysis buffer instead for
washing.
