Human Phospho-MAPK Array Kit

Introduction

The Human Phospho-Mitogen-activated Protein Kinase (MAPK) Antibody Array (Catalog # ARY002B) is an economical tool used to simultaneously detect the relative phosphorylation of 24 kinases without performing numerous immunoprecipitation and/or Western blots. Kinases are captured by 26 different antibodies spotted in duplicate on a nitrocellulose membrane. Levels of phosphorylated protein are then assessed using phospho-specific antibodies and chemiluminescent detection.

Simultaneously detect the relative phosphorylation of these kinases in a single sample.

General Assay Principle

Carefully selected capture antibodies have been spotted in duplicate on nitrocellulose membranes. Cell lysate samples are diluted and mixed with a cocktail of biotinylated detection antibodies. The sample/antibody mixture is then incubated with the array. Any protein/detection antibody complex present is bound by its cognate immobilized capture antibody on the membrane. Streptavidin-Horseradish Peroxidase and chemiluminescent detection reagents are added, and a signal is produced in proportion to the amount of cytokine bound. Chemiluminescence is detected in the same manner as a Western blot.
