Microcystin pulldown of sperm PP2A. [PDF]
, 2015 (A) Caudal sperm extracts (2X108 sperm/ml) were incubated with microcystin- sepharose beads. The microcystin- bound proteins were eluted by boiling with Laemmli buffer and analyzed by Western blot with Anti-PP2A antibody (MC).

Methods for rapid extraction of microcystin-LR and microcystin-RR
浙江大学学报. 农业与生命科学版, 2005 Simple analysis methods using microwave and boiling waterbath to solve the problem for microcystin-LR (MCLR) and microcystin-RR (MCRR) extraction from cyanobacteria cells were studied as a substitute for the traditional solvent extraction methods. Standards were used to confirm the feasibility and efficiency of both methods.
