Kinase ELISA and PhosphoDetect ELISA Procedure

Quantitation of kinases or their substrates is an important part of disease and pathway analysis research. Analysis of kinases, phosphorylated kinases, and kinase substrate levels are important indicators of the signaling state of the cell. Pan or phospho-specific antibodies specifically and sensitively identify their targets in cell lysates or partially purified samples.

Immunoprecipitation using a pan antibody, followed by immunoblotting using a pan or phospho-specific detector antibody, provides sensitive detection of the target. However, this method is very time consuming and difficult to quantitate. Obtaining results from an immunoblot can take up to 2 days, with significant hands-on time.

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) offer a faster and more sensitive method for quantitating kinases and their substrates in biological samples. ELISAs come with antibody-coated 96-well (strip) plates, a pan or phospho-specific detector antibody, a secondary antibody, and a protein standard. Quantitative detection of total or phosphorylated protein is obtained colorimetrically in about 4 hours.
 
ELISAs and PhosphoDetect ELISAs are:
Fast: Perform up to 96 assays in 4 hours
Sensitive: All reagents optimized for detection
Complete: Contain all reagents needed, including standard for quantitation
Specific: Target-specific; species specificity information provided
