Hi everybody,

I'm facing a problem with the purification of an His-tagged protein produced in Sf9 cells. Protein, which is also GFP-tagged, is nicely expressed (unlikely cytosolic), easily extracted from the cells (I used 1% TX-100), perfectly bound the Cobalt column but is impossible to elute... I tried 300 mM imidazole, then 500 mM in the presence of 1% TX-100 and 1 mM beta-mercaptoethanol and finally 1 M imidazole. None of those buffers allowed me to elute anything. I also tried pH5 elution zero again.

If any of you get an idea I'll appreciate because I never faced such a problem before.

Cheers,
