Our lab studies the role of mTOR signaling in T cell such as mTORC2 signaling during T cell differentiation and function. With immunoblot analysis, we assessed mTORC2 activity using pAKT (S473) as a readout in WT T cells upon T cell activation.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Western Blot

Sample

Murine T cells

Primary Incubation

1:2000 in 4%BSA/TBST

Blocking Agent

5% Milk/TBST

Secondary Incubation

1:5000 anti-Rabbit HRP (cell signaling) in 5%Milk/TBST

Tertiary Incubation

None

Detection

UVP Imaging System

Results Summary

We are able to detect mTORC2 activity by assessing pAKT (S473) in activated WT T cells and proving specificity by using PP-242 to inhibit mTOR signaling.
