What Does RIPA Stand For?

RIPA stands for Radioimunoprecipitation Assay

RIPA, or Radioimmunoprecipitation Assay, is a laboratory technique used to detect and quantify specific proteins within a complex mixture, such as cell lysates or serum. This method employs radiolabeled antibodies that bind to the target protein, allowing for the isolation and measurement of the protein's concentration. RIPA is widely utilized in research and diagnostic applications to study protein interactions, signaling pathways, and disease mechanisms.
