non-reducing IP - (Jan/26/2007 )

I am trying to detect whether dimerization/oligomerization of my target protein is required for sumoylation. Planning to run a non-reducing IP. Question is: Can I just boil the immunoprecipitated beads in presence of sample buffer (does it need to be SDS free) without any reducing agent (BME/DTT)? Will I expect the IgG band at ~150 kd? How about crosslinking the lysate before IP?

Any comment from people in similar situation will be appreciated.

what you plan is native page; do not use SDS or reducing agents; non-denaturizing detergents such as cholate may help; most important is the buffer system;

may ask mdfenko for more details...
