Is there a possibility to collect cells after cell culture for further cytosol/nuclear fractionation. Cells were harvested in the middle of the night, and the procedure of cells fractionation with a large amount of samples takes about two hours. Therefore, is there any way to collect the samples and their storage for completing the procedure in the following days.
Is it possible to determine histone acetyl transferase (HAT) and histone deacetylase (HDAC) from a total cell lysate? How should I prepare the lysate. For determination of HAT and HDAC activity I am going to use commercial kits.
The whole cells can be kept in FBS containing 10% DMSO and store under Liquid nitrogen (for long time) or -80C (1 week) until the nuclear extraction. The recommendation from the commercial kit manufacturer.
