Can a protein precipitate from a column based RNA isolation assay be used for downstream protein analysis?

I was wondering if somebody could provide me with some helpful information. I recently extracted RNA out of some purified exosomes using the miRCURY RNA isolation kit for biofluids. This is a column based RNA isolation assay, which involves a protein precipitation step. I was wondering, can this protein precipitate be used for downstream protein analysis? If so, what would be the best way to process the protein precipitate? I would appreciate any input! Thanks, Jake

Hello jseibert!

We believe that this post is does not fit the main topic of this site.

This isn't actually a bioinformatics question. Having said that, the odds are good that if you wash the precipitate with ethanol and resolublize in buffer that it'll work.

For this reason we have closed your question. This allows us to keep the site focused on the topics that the community can help with.

If you disagree please tell us why in a reply below, we'll be happy to talk about it.

Cheers!
