Application

Suitable as a source of nuclear components, to produce nuclei for in vitro apoptosis assays, and for functional studies.

Biochem/physiol Actions

The protocol provides a high yield of nuclei from commonly used mammalian cells, including both adherent (e.g., HEK293 and COS7) and non-adherent (e.g., Jurkat and HFN7.1) cell lines and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). The preparations are suitable for many cell biology applications, e.g., as a source of nuclear components such as chromatin, genomic DNA, histones and nuclear RNA/RNP, produces nuclei for in vitro apoptosis assays, and functional studies such as examination of the transcriptional status of cells.

General description

The Nuclei EZ Prep Kit was developed for the rapid isolation of nuclei from mammalian cells. The kit provides a high yield of nuclei from commonly used cell types.

Other Notes

All procedures should be carried out on ice or 2-8°C.
