Phospho-Tyrosine Mouse mAb (P-Tyr-100) (Sepharose Bead Conjugate) is useful for immunoprecipitation of tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins. P-Tyr-100 is immobilized via the conjugation of carbohydrates to cross-linked agarose hydrazide beads. The antibody does not cross-react with proteins phosphorylated on serine or threonine. (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-Tyr-containing peptides.
Description
Do not use for IAP in the PhosphoScan®method. IAP immobilized antibody is specific to the PhosphoScan®Kit.
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.
