Immunoprecipitation - Z-VAD(OH)-FMK, Irreversible general caspase inhibitor (ab120382)MLKL (phospho S345) was immunoprecipitated from 1mg of L-929 (Mouse connective tissue fibroblast cells) whole cell lysate treated with 20 ng/ml TNF alpha (ab9642) + 100 nM Smac mimetic + 20 µM z-VAD compound (ab120382) for 8h using ab196436 at 1/150 dilution. Western blot was performed from the immunoprecipitate using ab196436 at 1/1000 dilution. Anti-Rabbit IgG (HRP), specific to the non-reduced form of IgG, was used as secondary antibody at 1/1500 dilution.
