Phospho-Tyrosine Mouse mAb (P-Tyr-100) (Magnetic Bead Conjugate) contains high affinity beads. ELISAs against a wide variety of phosphopeptides indicate that P-Tyr-100 binds phospho-Tyr in a manner largely independent of the surrounding amino acid sequence. 2D gel western blot analysis of pervanadate-treated cell extracts shows that P-Tyr-100 interacts with a broad range of tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins. P-Tyr-100 does not cross-react with peptides containing phospho-Ser or phospho-Thr. (U.S. Patent No's.: 6,441,140; 6,982,318; 7,259,022; 7,344,714; U.S.S.N. 11,484,485; and all foreign equivalents.)
Source / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with phospho-tyrosine containing peptides.
Description
This Cell Signaling Technology (CST) antibody is immobilized by the covalent reaction of hydrazinonicotinamide-modifed antibody with formylbenzamide-modified magnetic bead. Phospho-Tyrosine Mouse mAb (P-Tyr-100) (Magnetic Bead Conjugate) is useful for immunoprecipitation assays. The unconjugated Phospho-Tyrosine Mouse mAb (P-Tyr-100) #9411 reacts with all species of phospho-tyrosine protein. CST expects that Phospho-Tyrosine Mouse mAb (P-Tyr-100) (Magnetic Bead Conjugate) will also recognize phospho proteins in all species.
Background
Tyrosine phosphorylation plays a key role in cellular signaling (1). In cancer, unregulated tyrosine kinase activity can drive malignancy and tumor formation by generating inappropriate proliferation and survival signals (2). Antibodies specific for phospho-tyrosine (3,4) have been invaluable reagents in these studies. The phospho-tyrosine monoclonal antibodies developed by Cell Signaling Technology provide exceptionally sensitive new tools of increased utility for studying tyrosine phosphorylation and monitoring tyrosine kinase activity in high throughput drug discovery.
