Large Scale Tubulin Preparation
From Michison lab at Harvard medical school.
Tubulin is purified from bovine/porcine brain by two cycles of polymerization/depolymerization followed by removal of copurifying proteins on a phosphocellulose (PC) column. The procedure described here is for a large scale prep (10 cow brains) that yields 1-4 grams of tubulin. The protocol can be scaled down if such a large prep is either not necessary or not doable.

We are planning to isolate bovine tubulin. What precautions should be taken to prevent human exposure to transmissible BSE (prions) during tubulin preparation? Can you suggest or recommend appropriate methods for waste disposal from bovine tubulin protocols? Rating: n/a
