A-431 Cell Lysate for Immunoprecipaitation: sc-24781

The A-431 (IP) cell lysate is a specialized biological product derived from the A-431 cell line, which is a well-established model system obtained from human epidermoid carcinoma of an elderly patient. This particular lysate employs the technique of immunoprecipitation (IP), a method used to isolate specific proteins along with their associated protein complexes from the rest of the cellular milieu. In this context, the A-431 cells are lysed to release their contents, and specific antibodies are used to target and precipitate proteins of interest. This enables researchers to study these proteins in greater detail, particularly focusing on their interactions, modifications, and functions within cellular processes. The A-431 (IP) cell lysate is invaluable in the field of molecular biology and biochemistry for probing signal transduction pathways and protein-protein interactions. It has been used extensively to understand mechanisms of action, protein dynamics, and regulatory networks within the cells. By providing a concentrated source of targeted proteins, this lysate facilitates a range of studies, including those exploring the underlying molecular mechanisms that drive cell behavior, signal transduction, and regulation, contributing significantly to the foundational research in cellular biology.
