Immunoprecipitation combined with microchip capillary gel electrophoresis: Detection and quantification of β-galactosidase from crude E. coli cell lysate

A sensitive and selective analytical method for the determination and quantification of endogenous β-galactosidase in crude E. coli cell lysates by immunoprecipitation combined with automated microchip capillary gel electrophoresis (IP-MCGE) with laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) detection was developed. Total cell lysates were derivatized minimally with a fluorescence dye, incubated with anti-β-galactosidase antibodies, and the antigen/antibody...
