Product Summary for Human Phospho-EGFR DuoSet IC ELISA

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

Scientific Data Images for Human Phospho-EGFR DuoSet IC ELISA

Figure 1: The Human Phospho-EGF R DuoSet IC ELISA is more sensitive than immunoprecipitation (IP)-Western blot analysis

The human epidermoid carcinoma cell line, A431, was treated with 25 ng/mL recombinant human EGF (R&D Systems Catalog #236-EG) for 5 minutes to induce tyrosine phosphorylation of EGF R. Lysates were serially diluted and analyzed by (A) IP-Western blot and (B) this DuoSet IC ELISA. IPs were done using an anti-EGF R monoclonal antibody and anti-mouse IgG agarose. Immunoblots were incubated with an HRP-conjugated anti-phospho-tyrosine monoclonal antibody (R&D Systems, Catalog #HAM1676) to detect phosphor-EGF R. Bands were visualized by chemiluminescent detection. Human Phospho-EGF R can be detected in this DuoSet IC ELISA by using approximately 2-4 times less lysate than is needed for a conventional IP-Western blot.

Figure 2: The Human Phospho-EGF R DuoSet IC ELISA detects ligand-induced EGF R tyrosine phosphorylation

A431 cells were untreated or treated with 25 ng/mL recombinant human EGF for 5 minutes. ELISA and IP-Western blot (inset) analyses were done using 25 and 50 μg of lysate, respectively. IP-Western blots for phospho-EGF R (p-EGF R) were done as described in Figure 1. Blots were stripped and total EGF R was detected using a biotinylated anti-EGF R polyclonal antibody (R&D Systems, Catalog #AF231).

Figure 3. The quantification of Human Phospho-EGF R DuoSet IC ELISA is demonstrated by using cells pretreated with the inhibitor PD168393

A431 cells were incubated with no additions or treated with 25 ng/mL recombinant human EGF for 5 minutes, after either being treated with or without 1 nM, 10 nM, or 100 nM PD168393. ELISA and IP-Western blot (inset) analyses were done using 25 and 50 μg of lysate, respectively. IP-Western blots for phospho-EGF R (p-EGF R) were done as described in Figure 1. Total EGF R blots were done as described in Figure 2. The DuoSet IC ELISA results correlate well with the relative amount of phosphorylated EGF R detected by IP-Western blot.

Background: EGFR

The EGF R subfamily of receptor tyrosine kinases comprises four members: EGF R (also known as HER-1, ErbB1, or ErbB), ErbB2 (Neu, HER-2), ErbB3 (HER-3), and ErbB4 (HER-4). All family members are type I transmembrane glycoproteins with an extracellular ligand binding domain containing two cysteine-rich domains separated by a spacer region and a cytoplasmic domain containing a membrane-proximal tyrosine kinase domain followed by multiple tyrosine autophosphorylation sites. The human EGF R cDNA encodes a 1210 amino acid (aa) precursor with a 24 aa signal peptide, a 621 aa extracellular domain (ECD), a 23 aa transmembrane segment, and a 542 aa cytoplasmic domain. Soluble receptors consisting of the extracellular ligand binding domain are generated by alternate splicing in human and mouse. Within the ECD, human EGF R shares 88% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat EGF R. It shares 43% - 44% aa sequence identity with the ECD of human ErbB2, ErbB3, and ErbB4. EGF R binds a subset of the EGF family ligands, including EGF, amphiregulin, TGF-alpha, betacellulin, epiregulin, HB-EGF, and epigen. Ligand binding induces EGF R homodimerization as well as heterodimerization with ErbB2, resulting in kinase activation, heterodimerization tyrosine phosphorylation and cell signaling. EGF R can also be recruited to form heterodimers with the ligand-activated ErbB3 or ErbB4. EGF R signaling regulates multiple biological functions including cell proliferation, differentiation, motility, and apoptosis. EGF R is overexpressed in a wide variety of tumors and is the target of several anti-cancer drugs.
