title: Immunoaffinity purification of SRT-tagged human creatine kinase by peptide elution.
abstract: The mouse monoclonal antibody (Mab), SRT10, recognizes a linear epitope of 10 amino acids (ThrPheIleGlyAlaIleAlaThrAspThr). When these epitope-tagged fusion proteins are expressed in mammalian cells, the Mab can detect the tagged proteins by immunoblotting, immunocytochemistry and immunoprecipitation. Here, we describe an efficient method for the purification of SRT-tagged recombinant human creatine kinase (CK) transiently expressed in mammalian cells. This method utilizes the expression of the N-terminal- or C-terminal-tagged CK in transiently transfected HEK293 cells followed by binding to anti-SRT-agarose affinity resin and competitive elution with SRT peptide. Recombinant CK was purified near homogeneity as judged by SDS-PAGE.
