1. Prepare stocks for protease inhibitor, DNAse, and lysozyme.
 
-
*a. Protease Inhibitor = 25x stock ; one tablet into 2ml of buffer
 
-
*b. DNAses = 100x stock (10mg/ml initial → 0.1mg/mL final)
 
-
*c. Lysozyme = 10x stock (10mg/ml initial → 1mg/mL final)
 
-
2. Resuspend 50ml of each type of cell culture in 1ml of this mixture: 850ul sodium phosphate buffer, 40ul protease inhibitor, 10ul DNAse (0.1mg/ml final), and 100ul lysozyme (1mg/ml final).If testing multiple reactions, just multiply the volumes and divide into eppendorf tubes so that each reaction gets 1mL of cell suspension.
 
-
*a. Buffer: 1ml = 1000ul - (40+10+100) → 850ul 
 
-
*b. Protease inhibitor: 25x (xml) = 1x (1ml) → 40ul
 
-
*c. DNAses: (10mg/ml)Xul = (0.1mg/ml)1ml  → 10ul
 
-
*d. Lysozyme: (1mg/ml)Xul = (1mg/ml) 1ml → 100ul
 
-
3. At the cell-lysis part, add 111uL 10% triton (1% final) and mix the tube at room temperature for 30 min. Then, centrifuge the tubes at max. speed for 15 min (or until the liquid is very clear and not cloudy.
 
-
*x/(1000 +x) = 1/10  ….................. x = 111ul
 
-
4. Transfer the liquid on top to new labeled eppendorf tube (leave the pellet of lysed stuff; our protein should be sufficiently soluble in aqueous solutions), tube perhaps containing master mix to initiate reaction.
 
-
5. Place Target polyspring inserts into the Target DP glass vials.
 
-
6. Cell Lysis
 
-
*a. Sonicate --use micro tip, 60%, 30 on 30 off (POST-assay: cell lysate not so effective)
 
-
*b. Bugbuster --Use 10x bugbuster, follow protocol (POST-assay: cell lysate not so effective)
 
-
*c. Triton X-100 --Use 1% triton (POST-assay: most effective for cell lysate)
