Background

Protein Kinase C (PKC) is a large superfamily of serine/threonine kinases that mediate essential cellular signals required for activation, proliferation, differentiation and survival. There are at least ten PKC isotypes that are closely related in structure but that have distinct patterns of tissue distribution and function. The PKC isotypes can be subdivided into three classes based on primary structure and biochemical properties. These are: classical or conventional PKC isotypes (cPKC), novel PKC isotypes (nPKC) and atypical PKC isotypes (aPKC). All PKC isotypes share a characteristic equence motif C1 in addition to a serine/threonine-protein kinase domain. The cPKC isotypes include PKC

FAQs for PKC alpha ELISA Kit (NBP3-39036). (Showing 1 - 2 of 2 FAQ).

1. We are looking into protein kinase C-alpha antibodies for immunohistochemistry on formalin fixed, paraffin embedded tissue. I see that you have many antibodies, including several monoclonals. I wanted to confirm with you that the following antibodies are specific for C-alpha. NB600-201=MC5 (an older paper suggested that this might react with alpha, beta, gamm), NB110-57356=Y124, NB110-57353=Y143. Also, if you have an comparator data or feedback regarding PKC-alpha antibodies for IHC on FFPE, that would be very helpful. We would like to pick 1 antibody that is easy to titer and robust, so that we can move forward with our studies.
   • We have never heard any feedback that these cross-react with other PKC proteins. If you have seen data that MC5 may cross-react, then I would consider avoiding this antibody if you are concerned. The immunogens for NB110-57356 and NB110-57353 come from the N- and C-terminals, which is where the PKC proteins vary the most, so these are not expected to cross-react and we have had no feedback or testing data that suggests that they do. I would recommend NB110-57356, since it has been published with. You may want to review the published data to determine if it seems this antibody will suit your needs.
2. 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.
