Human Phospho-Axl DuoSet IC ELISA Summary

Product Summary

This DuoSet IC ELISA contains the basic components required for the development of sandwich ELISAs to measure tyrosine-phosphorylated human Axl in cell lysates. An immobilized capture antibody specific for Axl binds both phosphorylated and unphosphorylated Axl. After washing away unbound material, an HRP-conjugated detection antibody is used to detect only phosphorylated receptor, utilizing a standard HRP format.

Preparation and Storage

Background: Axl

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.

Assay Procedure

Refer to the product datasheet for the complete assay procedure.

Bring all reagents and samples to room temperature before use. It is recommended that all samples, standards, and controls be assayed in duplicate.

1、Prepare all reagents, standard dilutions, and samples as directed in the product insert.

2、Remove excess microplate strips from the plate frame, return them to the foil pouch containing the desiccant pack, and reseal.

3、Add 50 μL of Assay Diluent to each well.

4、Add 50 μL of Standard, control, or sample to each well. Cover with a plate sealer, and incubate at room temperature for 2 hours.

5、Aspirate each well and wash, repeating the process 4 times for a total of 5 washes.

6、Add 100 μL of Conjugate to each well. Cover with a new plate sealer, and incubate at room temperature for 2 hours.

7、Aspirate and wash 5 times.

8、Add 100 μL Substrate Solution to each well.

9、Add 100 μL of Stop Solution to each well. Read at 450 nm within 30 minutes. Set wavelength correction to 540 nm or 570 nm.
