Description
STAT3 (Phospho-Tyr705) Cell-Based ELISA Kit
The STAT3 (Phospho-Tyr705) Cell-Based ELISA Kit is a convenient, lysate- free, high throughput and sensitive assay kit that can monitor STAT3 phosphorylation and expression profile in cells. The kit can be used for measuring the relative amounts of phosphorylated STAT3 in cultured cells as well as screening for the effects that various treatments, inhibitors (ie. siRNA or chemicals), or activators have on STAT3 phosphorylation.
How does our STAT3 (Phospho-Tyr705) Fluorometric Cell-Based ELISA Kit work?
Qualitative determination of STAT3 (Phospho-Tyr705) concentration is achieved by an indirect ELISA format. In essence, STAT3 (Phospho-Tyr705) is captured by STAT3 (Phospho-Tyr705)-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 STAT3 (Phospho-Tyr705) is also provided for normalization purposes. The RFU values obtained for non-phosphorylated STAT3 can be used to normalize the RFU value for phosphorylated STAT3. |

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 protein encoded by this gene is a member of the STAT protein family. In response to cytokines and growth factors, STAT family members are phosphorylated by the receptor associated kinases, and then form homo- or heterodimers that translocate to the cell nucleus where they act as transcription activators. This protein is activated through phosphorylation in response to various cytokines and growth factors including IFNs, EGF, IL5, IL6, HGF, LIF and BMP2. This protein mediates the expression of a variety of genes in response to cell stimuli, and thus plays a key role in many cellular processes such as cell growth and apoptosis. The small GTPase Rac1 has been shown to bind and regulate the activity of this protein. PIAS3 protein is a specific inhibitor of this protein. Three alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] |
