PathScan^® RTK Signaling Antibody Array Kit (Fluorescent Readout)

Kit should be stored at 4°C with the exception of Lysis Buffer, which is stored at –20°C (packaged separately).

Cell Signaling Technology's PathScan^® RTK Signaling Antibody Array Kit detects the indicated RTKs and signaling nodes only when phosphorylated at tyrosine or specified residues (see Array Target Map). No significant crossreactivity has been observed between targets, with the exception of some crossreactivity of the FLT3 antibody with phosphorylated EphB3. In addition, Stat1 (Tyr701) and Stat3 (Tyr705) may be detected when phosphorylated at other tyrosine sites within the proteins. This kit is optimized for cell lysates diluted to a total protein concentration between 0.2 and 1 mg/ml (see Figure 4). All capture antibodies have been validated for human targets. Although this kit has not been tested with mouse lysates, it is expected than many capture antibodies will crossreact in murine systems.

The PathScan^® RTK Signaling Antibody Array Kit (Fluorescent Readout) is a slide-based antibody array product founded upon the sandwich immunoassay principle. The array kit allows for the simultaneous detection of 28 receptor tyrosine kinases and 11 important signaling nodes when phosphorylated at tyrosine or other residues. Target-specific capture antibodies have been spotted in duplicate onto nitrocellulose-coated glass slides. Each kit contains two 8-pad slides, allowing the user to test up to 16 samples. Cell lysate is incubated on the slide followed by a biotinylated detection antibody cocktail. Streptavidin-conjugated DyLight 680^® is then used to visualize the bound detection antibody. A fluorescent image of the slide can then be captured with a digital imaging system and spot intensities quantified using array analysis software.
