Human Phospho-Mer DuoSet IC ELISA, 2 Plate

NS0 cells transfected with human Mer (NS0-hMer) were treated with conditioned media from the human lung cell line, WI-38, for 15 minutes to induce tyrosine phosphorylation of Mer. Lysates were serially diluted and analyzed by (A) IP-Western blot and (B) this DuoSet IC ELISA. IPs were done using an anti-Mer monoclonal antibody and goat anti-mouse agarose. Immunoblots were incubated with an HRP-conjugated anti-phosphotyrosine monoclonal antibody (R&D Systems, Catalog # HAM1676) to detect phospho-Mer. Bands were visualized by chemiluminescent detection using WesternGloTM Chemiluminescent Detection Substrate (R&D Systems, Catalog # AR004). Human Phospho-Mer can be detected in this DuoSet IC ELISA by using approximately 5 to 10 times less lysate than is needed for a conventional IP-Western blot.

NS0-hMer cells were untreated or treated with conditioned media from the human lung cancer cell line, WI-38, for 15 minutes. ELISA and IP-Western blot (inset) analyses were done using 100 μg and 400 μg of lysate, respectively. IP-Western blots for phospho-Mer (p-Mer) were done as described in Figure 1. Blots were stripped and total Mer was detected using a biotinylated anti-Mer polyclonal antibody (R&D Systems, Catalog #BAF891).

NS0-hMer cells were treated with conditioned media from the human lung cell line, WI-38, for 15 minutes minutes. The indicated amounts of recombinant extracellular domains of human Mer/Fc (R&D Systems, Catalog #891-MR), human Axl/Fc (R&D Systems, Catalog #154-AL), human Dtk/Fc (R&D Systems, Catalog #859-DK) or human TrkA/Fc (R&D Systems, Catalog #175-TK) were added to 100 μg lysate and analyzed using this DuoSet IC ELISA. Competition was observed only with recombinant human Mer.

Background

Axl (Ufo, Ark), Dtk (Sky, Tyro3, Rse, Brt) and Mer (human and mouse orthologs of chicken c-Eyk) constitute the TAM receptor tyrosine kinase subfamily. This RTK subfamily is characterized by an extracellular domain that consists of two Ig-like motifs and two fibronectin type III motifs. These receptors bind the vitamin K-dependent protein Growth Arrest Specific Gene 6 (Gas6). Receptor activation leads to cell proliferation, migration, or the prevention of apoptosis. Cellular signaling through this family of RTKs is involved in hematopoiesis, embryonic development, tumorigenesis, and spermatogenesis.

1. What is the difference between the Quantikine and Duoset ELISA kits?
   • Our Quantikine kits are fully optimized and validated for the sample types listed on the product specific webpage and datasheet, as this can vary between kits. Each kit is supplied ready to use with one pre-coated 96-well plate, a detection antibody directly conjugated to HRP, and all other necessary reagents. These kits are ideal for researchers who want the convenience of a ready to use and optimized ELISA product. Some of these kits are also available prepackaged in larger 6 and 50 plate sizes.Our DuoSet Kits, in contrast, are ELISA development kits containing the capture and detection antibody, the mass-value calibrated standard, and streptavidin-HRP to prepare approximately 5 or 15 plates. Ancillary reagents will need to be used/purchased, and for most kits, we will recommend one of our Ancillary Reagent Kits, which contain the reagents we use ourselves in-house. DuoSet kits are validated only for cell culture supernatant samples and therefore require further development and validation for accurate measurement in more complex samples such as serum and plasma. Our DuoSet Kits offer an economical, flexible alternative for the experienced ELISA user.
