Description
Androgen Receptor (Phospho-Tyr363) Cell-Based ELISA Kit
The Androgen Receptor (Phospho-Tyr363) Cell-Based ELISA Kit is a convenient, lysate- free, high throughput and sensitive assay kit that can monitor Androgen Receptor phosphorylation and expression profile in cells. The kit can be used for measuring the relative amounts of phosphorylated Androgen Receptor in cultured cells as well as screening for the effects that various treatments, inhibitors (ie. siRNA or chemicals), or activators have on Androgen Receptor phosphorylation.
How does our Androgen Receptor (Phospho-Tyr363) Fluorometric Cell-Based ELISA Kit work?
Qualitative determination of Androgen Receptor (Phospho-Tyr363) concentration is achieved by an indirect ELISA format. In essence, Androgen Receptor (Phospho-Tyr363) is captured by Androgen Receptor (Phospho-Tyr363)-specific primary (1°) antibodies while Dye 1-conjugated and Dye 2-conjugated secondary (2°) antibodies bind the Fc region of the 1° antibody. Through this binding, the dye conjugated to the 2° antibody can emit light at a certain wavelength given proper excitation, hence allowing for a fluorometric detection method. Due to the qualitative nature of the Cell-Based ELISA, multiple normalization methods are needed:
| 1. | A monoclonal antibody specific for human GAPDH is included to serve as an internal positive control in normalizing the target RFU values. |
| 2. | An antibody against the nonphosphorylated counterpart of Androgen Receptor (Phospho-Tyr363) is also provided for normalization purposes. The RFU values obtained for non-phosphorylated Androgen Receptor can be used to normalize the RFU value for phosphorylated Androgen Receptor. |

Kit Protocol
This is a summarized version of the kit protocol. Please view the technical manual of this kit for information on sample preparation, reagent preparation and plate lay out.
| 1. | Seed 200 µl of desired cell concentration in culture medium into each well of the 96-well plates. For suspension cells and loosely attached cells, coat the plates with 100 µl of 10 µg/ml Poly-L-Lysine (not included) to each well of a 96-well plate for 30 minutes at 37°C prior to adding cells. |
| 2. | Incubate the cells for overnight at 37°C, 5% CO2. |
| 3. | Treat the cells as desired. |
| 4. | Remove the cell culture medium and rinse with 200 µl of 1x TBS, twice. |
| 5. | Fix the cells by incubating with 100 µl of Fixing Solution for 20 minutes at room temperature. The 4% formaldehyde is used for adherent cells and 8% formaldehyde is used for suspension cells and loosely attached cells. |
| 6. | Remove the Fixing Solution and wash the plate 3 times with 200 µl 1x Wash Buffer for 3 minutes. The plate can be stored at 4°C for a week. |
| 7. | Add 100 µl of Quenching Buffer and incubate for 20 minutes at room temperature. |
| 8. | Wash the plate 3 times with 1x Wash Buffer for 3 minutes each time. |

| NCBI Summary: | The androgen receptor gene is more than 90 kb long and codes for a protein that has 3 major functional domains: the N-terminal domain, DNA-binding domain, and androgen-binding domain. The protein functions as a steroid-hormone activated transcription factor. Upon binding the hormone ligand, the receptor dissociates from accessory proteins, translocates into the nucleus, dimerizes, and then stimulates transcription of androgen responsive genes. This gene contains 2 polymorphic trinucleotide repeat segments that encode polyglutamine and polyglycine tracts in the N-terminal transactivation domain of its protein. Expansion of the polyglutamine tract causes spinal bulbar muscular atrophy (Kennedy disease). Mutations in this gene are also associated with complete androgen insensitivity (CAIS). Two alternatively spliced variants encoding distinct isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] |
