Immunoprecipitation is a powerful technique for purifying many proteins for which specific antibodies exist. Magnetic separation has recently been demonstrated to be effective in the immunoprecipitation of cell-surface proteins. We have used magnetic separation with anti-immunoglobulin or protein A bound to magnetic particles to immunoprecipitate labeled muscle tropomyosin and several other cytoskeletal proteins for which specific antibodies exist. We have not found it necessary to bind antigen-specific antibody to the magnetic particles, increasing the versatility of the technique. The quantitative recovery of tropomyosin from muscle cultures using magnetic separation is superior to Staph A (protein A-positive Staphylococcus aureus cells). The specificity of magnetic separation also compares favorably with Staph A for immunoprecipitation of muscle tropomyosin. Fibroblast tropomyosin, vimentin (from muscle and osteoblast) and myosin heavy chain are other cytoskeletal proteins that are easily recovered with magnetic separation. Magnetic separation, therefore, appears to be a valuable technique for the immunoprecipitation of cytoskeletal proteins from various cell types.
