Description
CST's PathScan® Total ALK Sandwich ELISA Kit #7322 detects endogenous levels of total ALK and NPM-ALK fusion proteins. High levels of phospho-ALK (Tyr1604) protein and phospho-NPM-ALK fusion protein are detected in Karpas299 cells where ALK and NPM-ALK are constitutively phosphorylated (Figure 1). These high levels are abolished in Karpas299 cells lysed without addition of phosphatase inhibitors* to the lysis buffer. The levels of total ALK protein (phospho and nonphospho) detected by PathScan® Total ALK Sandwich ELISA Kit #7322 remain unchanged (Figure 1). Western analysis of protein captured in microwells coated with ALK antibody shows two bands corresponding to both ALK protein and NPM-ALK fusion protein (Figure 3). This kit detects proteins from the indicated species, as determined through in-house testing, but may also detect homologous proteins from other species.
* Phosphatase inhibitors include sodium pyrophosphate, β-glycerophosphate and Na3VO4
