  • Product overview

    Abcam’s ERK1/2 (pT202/Y204) and ERK1/2 (Total) in vitro SimpleStep ELISA™ (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) kit is designed for the semi-quantitative measurement of ERK1/2 (pT202/Y204) and Total ERK1/2 protein in Human and mouse cells.


    The SimpleStep ELISA™ employs an affinity tag labeled capture antibody and a reporter conjugated detector antibody which immunocapture the sample analyte in solution. This entire complex (capture antibody/analyte/detector antibody) is in turn immobilized via immunoaffinity of an anti-tag antibody coating the well. To perform the assay, samples or standards are added to the wells, followed by the antibody mix. After incubation, the wells are washed to remove unbound material. TMB substrate is added and during incubation is catalyzed by HRP, generating blue coloration. This reaction is then stopped by addition of Stop Solution completing any color change from blue to yellow. Signal is generated proportionally to the amount of bound analyte and the intensity is measured at 450 nm. Optionally, instead of the endpoint reading, development of TMB can be recorded kinetically at 600 nm.


    ASSAY SPECIFICITY


    The ERK1/2 (pT202/Y204) assay detects endogenous levels of ERK1/2 (GenBank Accessions NP 002737.2 [ERK1], NP 620407 [ERK2]) in cellular lysates, only when phosphorylated at Thr202/Tyr204.


    The ERK1/2 Total assay detects endogenous levels of ERK1/2 (GenBank Accessions NP 002737.2 [ERK1], NP 620407 [ERK2]) in cellular lysates, irrespective of phosphorylation status.


    SPECIES REACTIVITY


    This kit detects ERK1/2 (pT202/Y204) and ERK1/2 Total in Human and mouse cell culture extracts. Detection in rat samples is also expected. Other species should be tested on a case-by-case basis.


    Serum and plasma samples have not been tested with this kit.


    As of October 2019, this kit was reformulated with new antibodies to maintain continued long term supply.

    The ERK1/2 lysate dilution series was prepared as described.  Raw data values are shown in the table.   

    Kit Control lysates are provided at a concentration that give consistent signal between different lots. Lysates are produced and formulated by signal intensity to be consistent to within 30% of the previous lot. As such, Control lysates are not provided with a protein concentration.

MCF-7 cells were cultured in 96-well tissue culture plates, serum starved and treated (10 min) with a dose-range of EGF before cell lysis. Data from quadruplicate measurements of ERK1/2 (pT202/Y204) are plotted and compared against Total ERK1/2 protein levels.
