Invitrogen™ BacMam ERK2 [pThr185/pTyr187] Cellular Assay Kit

Description

The BacMam ERK2 [pThr185/pTyr187] Cellular Assay Kit is a high-throughput screening (HTS) compatible cellular immunoassay for the measuring of phosphorylation of GFP-ERK2. The BacMam ERK2 Cellular Assay Kit can be used with numerous transformed cell lines, primary cells, and stem cells, and allows for the interrogation of ERK2, either as a kinase or GPCR readout.

Use Cell Types Relevant to Your Needs

Understanding signaling in physiologically relevant cell backgrounds is extremely important when predicting the real effects of compounds in humans prior to clinical trials. With the BacMam ERK2 [pThr185/pTyr187] Cellular Assay Kit you can choose the appropriate cell type for your research needs, enabling you to design your own experiments, and to reach your research goals faster.

BacMam ERK2 Reagent Compatible Cells

The BacMam reagent included in the kit has been used to successfully transduce numerous transformed cell lines (e.g. U2-OS, HEK 293, and HeLa), primary cells (e.g., fibroblasts, hepatocytes, cardiovascular cells and epithelial cells), and stem cells (e.g. neuronal and mesenchymal) at high transduction efficiency and low levels of cytotoxicity. However, cells of hematopoietic origin show consistently poor transduction by BacMam technology, and are not recommended for use with the current technology.

Develop Assays Faster

The BacMam platform enables transient target expression allowing for reduced time to an HTS ready assay versus traditional stable cell line creation. Traditional stable cell line development requires months of culturing, optimization, and cloning of your cell line. This requires considerable time and resources. With BacMam ERK2 a user can get results in weeks versus months.

Cells Ready When You Are

BacMam Erk2 Reagent is ideal to transduce large quantities of cells in batch mode; transduced cells can be stored frozen in aliquots for later use. This saves you the delays associated with culturing cells. The cells are ready whenever you are. Cells can be assayed typically within hours of thawing, providing assay-ready cells when you need them, with no loss of activity.
