Product Name:

Phospho-TAK1 (S412) and Total TAK1 ELISA Kit

Catalog Number:

AB279951

This ELISA worked but TAK1 expression is low and the kit did nto have the best signal. For pTAK1 this was even lower and LPS positive control showed minimal pTAK1 levels.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

ELISA

Starting Material

Tips

May need large cell pellet to get good pTAK1 signal

Results Summary

We used this to look at TAK1 activation in human PBMCs ex vivo. We saw ok TAK1 expression but the pTAK1 expression was low and the positive control of LPS did not show marked upregualtion. There is concern the pTAK1 Ab used in the ELISA may not be specific.

This may be ok for TAK1 but pTAK1 was not sufficient for most of our assays.
