Immunoprecipitation (IP). Immunoprecipitation (IP) is the small-scale affinity purification of antigens using a specific antibody and is one of the most widely used methods for antigen purification and detection.This approach enables researchers to: 1  identify the activation status of proteins. 2  determine post-translational protein modifications.hromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays are performed to identify regions of the genome with which DNA-binding proteins, such as transcription factors and histones, associate. In ChIP assays, proteins bound to DNA are temporarily crosslinked and the DNA is sheared prior to cell lysis.
A semester divides the school year into two equal parts. This means that if the academic year is 32 weeks, each semester is 16 weeks long. In different countries, in different â¦ colleges and universities, the academic year has no standard, so the length may vary. community college semester lasts roughly 4.5 months. This will  vary depending on how long each specific college allows for  Christmas break and New Years break.
The academic term for senior high school (grades 11 and 12) operates on a semestral basis. Semestral, Christmas, and summer breaks are scheduled at about the same time as primary and junior high school. Grade 12 pupils have a shorter second semester than grade 11 in order for the school to prepare for graduation.
