Could anyone help me with the following question?
I was trying to purify my protein of interest by immunoprecipitation (IP) and look at the phosphorylation status of the protein using specific phospho-antibodies in normal and diseased condition. But unfortunately my antibody(polyclonal) is not pulling down my protein of interest. I have used IgG as a control to confirm that there was no immunoprecipitation. I am assuming my antibody is not binding to the protein in the 3-D structure but it works very well when I run western. Is there any other way to look at the phosphorylation status of a protein without doing IP.
Thank you in advance!
