Section 1: Coupling RLR Biotinylated Protein to a Resin

1. Select a streptavidin-resin suitable for your application.
2. Wash and equilibrate the resin by adding 1xPBS or a suitable wash buffer.
3. Add appropriate amounts of RLR Biotinylated protein and incubate for 30 minutes.
4. Wash the resin to remove unlabeled protein and equilibrate with PBS.

Section 2: Pull-down the Target Protein

1. Add a sample containing the target protein to the resin from the Section 1.
2. Incubate for 60 minutes.
3. The target protein will be pulled down by RLR Biotinylated protein resin from Section 1.

Section 3: Elution of the Target Protein

1. Centrifuge the resin to remove the supernatant and wash the resin by adding 1xPBS buffer (pH=7.2~7.4) or a suitable wash buffer.
2. Repeat washing as needed.
