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

Data Examples
| Figure 1: The Human Total Axl DuoSet® IC ELISA is more sensitive than immunoprecipitation (IP)-Western Blot analysis. Lysates prepared from the human glioblastoma cell line A172 were diluted in series and analyzed by (A) IP-Western Blot and (B) this DuoSet® IC ELISA. IPs were performed using an anti-Axl monoclonal antibody and goat anti-mouse agarose. Immunoblots were incubated with a Biotinylated Anti-Axl Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # ) to detect human total Axl. Bands were visualized with Streptavidin-HRP A (Catalog # ) followed by chemiluminescent detection. Human Axl can be detected in this DuoSet® IC ELISA by using approximately 10 to 20 times less lysate than is needed for a conventional IP-Western Blot. |
| Figure 2: The Human Total Axl DuoSet® IC ELISA measures the relative level of Axl. Lysates were prepared from the human glioblastoma cell line (A172), the human epidermoid carcinoma cell line (A431), and the human stomach cancer cell line (KatoIII). DuoSet® IC ELISA and IP-Western Blot (inset) analyses were performed using 50 μg and 100 μg of lysate, respectively. The IP-Western Blot was performed as described in Figure 1. The DuoSet® IC ELISA results correlate well with the amounts of human Axl detected by IP-Western Blot. |
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.
