- FLEXIQuant vector provided to utilize FLEX-tag for absolute protein quantification
- Option to use His-tag-mediated purification for protein MS standard
- Use FLEX-tag and FLEX peptide standards for two-step quantification of target proteins
Technical Details
- Prepare expression vector for FLEX-tagged protein of interest using vector provided with kit
- Prepare isotope-labeled FLEX-tagged MS Standard using reagents provided with kit
- Use Western Blotting to determine concentration range of MS Standard and target protein in sample
- Add MS Standard directly sample before processing
- To copurify and digest MS Standard together with proteins in extract
- Add FLEX peptide provided with kit before peptide analysis by MS
- Determine protein concentrations using protein MS Standard and FLEX peptide
- Detailed protocol in the literature: A practical guide to the FLEXIQuant method. Singh S, Kirchner M, Steen JA, Steen H. Methods Mol Biol. 2012;893:295-319.
