ERK1 (phospho T202 + Y204) + ERK2 (phospho T185 + Y187) In-Cell ELISA Kit

ab126423 is a very rapid, convenient and sensitive assay kit that can monitor the activation or function of important biological pathways in cells. It can be used for measuring the relative amount of ERK1/2 (Thr202/Tyr204) phosphorylation and screening the effects of various treatments, inhibitors (such as siRNA or chemicals), or activators in cultured Human, Mouse and Rat cell lines. By determining ERK1/2 protein phosphorylation in your experimental model system, you can verify pathway activation in your cell lines without spending excess time and effort in preparing cell lysate and performing an analysis of Western Blot.

In the ERK1/2 (Thr202/Tyr204) In-Cell ELISA Kit, cells are seeded into a 96 well tissue culture plate. The cells are fixed after various treatments, inhibitors or activators. After blocking, anti-Phospho-ERK1/2 (Thr202/Tyr204) or anti-ERK1/2 is pipetted into the wells and incubated. The wells are washed, and HRP-conjugated anti-mouse IgG is added to the wells. The wells are washed again, a TMB substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of protein. The Stop Solution changes the color from blue to yellow, and the intensity of the color is measured at 450 nm.
