  • Product overview

    Nuclear Extraction Kit (ab113474) provides a simple and selective method along with all necessary reagents for nuclear protein extraction / nuclear protein fractionation in just 1 hour.


    The extracts can then be used in western blotting, protein-DNA binding assays, nuclear enzyme assays or any other procedures requiring optimized nuclear proteins. The protocol is fast and easy-to-use, and isolates very abundant yields of nuclear extract from mammalian cells or tissue samples.

    Compared to other kits that use conventional nuclear extraction / nuclear fractionation methods, the buffers included in ab113474 contain much lower amounts of salts (80% less than conventional kits) and no SDS, which allows much better retention of enzyme activity in the nuclear extracts.

Question

Dear professor!

I konw the Nuclear Extraction Kit which productde by Abcam.We wander obtain the cell nucleus,and then extrat the nuclear DNA.We want to know whether the kit can do it?

Thanks very much!

Answer

Thank you for your inquiry.

We have two Nuclear Extraction Kits in our catalog at the moment:

ab113474

https://www.abcam.com/index.html?datasheet=113474 (or use the following: https://www.abcam.com/index.html?datasheet=113474).

ab113477

https://www.abcam.com/index.html?datasheet=113477 (or use the following: https://www.abcam.com/index.html?datasheet=113477).

Both kits are intended for the extraction of protein from the nucleus.

ab113477 is designed to extract Proteins nucleic acid free.

We also have ab117152 (EpiSeeker Chromatin Extraction Kit) that will extract DNA and theDNA bound chromatin.

https://www.abcam.com/index.html?datasheet=117152 (or use the following: https://www.abcam.com/index.html?datasheet=117152).

I am sorry to confirm that we do not have kits specifically for protein free DNAextraction.

I would also like to make you aware that we do have scientific support in Chinese. If you prefer to speak to us in Chinese please write to mailto:hk.technical@abcam.com.

Question

Does the  cytosolic fraction include membrane protein as well. ( she will get the nuclear fraction againstthe rest of cell protein)?


 

Read More
Answer

Yes, the cytosolic fraction when using ab113474 Nuclear Extraction Kit includes membrane proteins.

Question

Asking about the DTT concentration  ? ( someone told her the high DTT concentration may interrupt MS and co-IP)

Answer

Thank you for the follow up message.


I can confirm that the concentration of DTT included in the kit is 1M.


I hope this will be helpful. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Question

I'm interested on the Nuclear Extraction Kit (ab113474). I would like to know if have you ever tried it with less amount of cells than what is written on the protocol booklet (around only half million cells).

Moreover, if after the extraction it is possible to quantify the protein amount with the Pierce BCA assay (if any component of the pre-extraction buffer or of the extraction buffer can interfere).

Read More
Answer

This kit will work better with 2 million cells however you can still use this with half a million cells, when using with 500,000 cells please keep the volume of buffers and reagents proportional to 1 million cells.

We recommend using Bradford for quantification, but the BCA Pierce assay will also be suitable.

Question

ab113474
Tissue preparation section of protocol booklet states the following:
Tissue Samples
10.3.1 Weigh the tissue and cut it into small pieces. Place tissue
pieces in a clean homogenizer.
10.3.2 Add 5 mL of 1X Pre-Extraction Buffer containing 5 μL of
DTT Solution per gram of tissue, and homogenize tissue
pieces (50-60 strokes).
10.3.3 Incubate on ice for 15 minutes and centrifuge for
10 minutes at 12,000 rpm at 4°C.
10.3.4 Remove the supernatant.

This does not mention PIC. Do we need to add this? Do they use stock solution of the pre extractio buffer, or do they use pre extraction buffer as prepared earlier in the protocol with DTT and PIC already added?

Read More
Answer



I contacted the laboratories. They confirmed that PIC is not required for the tissue homogenization preparation protocol as the active proteases in tissue are much less than that in cultured cells.

Question


Since we are concern about the nuclear integrity, we do not care too much about the cytosol. Therefore, DTT may can be excluded in Preextraction buffer too, because its main effect is to avoid the oxidation of the protein. Am I right?

Read More
Answer



I can confirm that if the cytosol is not required for much consideration, DTT can be excluded in pre-lysis buffer too.
