RIPAb+ Lin28 - RIP Validated Antibody and Primer Set

RIPAb+ antibodies are evaluated using the RNA Binding Protein Immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay. Each RIPAb+ antibody set includes quantitative RT-PCR control primers (RIP Primers) to biologically validate your IP results by successfully coprecipitating a specific RNA target (where such a specific target is known). The qPCR protocol and primer sequences are provided, allowing researchers to validate RIP protocols when using the antibody in their experimental context. Each set also includes a negative control antibody to ensure specificity of the RIP reaction.
The RIPAb+ Lin28 set includes the Lin28 (Zinc Finger CCHC domain-containing protein 1) antibody, a negative control antibody (purified rabbit IgG), and positive qPCR primers which amplify a 68 bp fragment of the human cDNA of CDK4. The Lin28 and negative control antibodies are supplied in a scalable "per RIP" reaction size and can be used to functionally validate the precipitation of Lin28-associated RNA.

Lin28

The Lin28 antibody is made against full-length His-tagged human Lin28 recombinant protein.

RNA Binding Protein Immunoprecipitation:
RIP Lysate prepared from NTera-2 embryonic carcinoma cells (2 X 10⁷ cell equivalents per IP) were subjected to immunoprecipitation using 5 µl of either a normal rabbit IgG, or Anti-Lin28 antibody and the Magna RIP^® Kit (Cat. # 17-700).
Successful immunoprecipitation of Lin28-associated RNA was verified by qPCR using primers for U1snRNA as a negative control and positive control RIP Primers CDK4 (Please see figures). Data is presented as percent input of each IP sample relative to input total RNA for each amplicon and RIP sample as indicated. Please refer to the Magna RIP (Cat. # 17-700) or EZ-Magna RIP (Cat. # 17-701) protocol for experimental details.

Immunoprecipitation from RIP lysate:
RIP lysate from NTera-2 embryonic carcinoma cells (2 X 10⁶ cell equivalents per IP) was subjected to immunoprecipitation using 0.5 µL of either a normal rabbit IgG or Anti-Lin28 antibody. Precipitated proteins were resolved by electrophoresis, transferred to nitrocellulose and probed with anti-Lin28 (1.0 µg/mL). Proteins were visualized using One-Step IP-Western kit (GenScript Cat. # L00231) (Please see figures).
