Phospho-ERK1/ERK2 (Thr185, Tyr187) Antibody in Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin) (IHC (P)) — Immunohistochemistry analysis of ERK1/2 (pTpY185/187) showing staining in the cytoplasm and nucleus of paraffin-embedded human breast carcinoma tissue (right) compared to a negative control without primary antibody (left). To expose target proteins, antigen retrieval was performed using 10mM sodium citrate (pH 6.0), microwaved for 8-15 min. Following antigen retrieval, tissues were blocked in 3% H2O2-methanol for 15 min at room temperature, washed with ddH2O and PBS, and then probed with a ERK1/2 (pTpY185/187) polyclonal antibody (Product # 44-680G) diluted in 3% BSA-PBS at a dilution of 1:50 overnight at 4°C in a humidified chamber. Tissues were washed extensively in PBST and detection was performed using an HRP-conjugated secondary antibody followed by colorimetric detection using a DAB kit. Tissues were counterstained with hematoxylin and dehydrated with ethanol and xylene to prep for mounting.

Phospho-ERK1/ERK2 (Thr185, Tyr187) Antibody in Western Blot (WB) — Western blot analysis was performed on whole cell extracts (30 µg lysate) of MDA-MB-231 with treatment of EGF(100 ng/mL for 15 mins) (Lane 1), MDA-MB-231 (Lane 2), U-87 MG (Lane 3),, SH-SY5Y (Lane 4) and HeLa (Lane 5). The blots were probed with Anti-Phospho-p44 MAPK + p42 MAPK pThr185 + pTyr187 Rabbit polyclonal Antibody (Product# 44680G, 1 in 1000 dilution) and detected by chemiluminescence Goat anti-Rabbit IgG (H+L) Secondary Antibody, HRP conjugate (Product # G-21234, 1:5000 dilution). Bands of 42 kDa and 44 kDa corresponding to Phospho-p44 MAPK + p42 MAPK pThr185 + pTyr187 was observed across cell lines tested. Known quantity of protein samples were electrophoresed using Novex® NuPAGE® 12 % Bis-Tris gel (Product # NP0341BOX), XCell SureLock™ Electrophoresis System (Product # EI0002) and Novex® Sharp Pre-Stained Protein Standard (Product # LC5800). Resolved proteins were then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane with iBlot® 2 Dry Blotting System (Product # IB21001). The membrane was probed with the relevant primary and secondary Antibody following blocking with 5 % skimmed milk. Chemiluminescent detection was performed using Pierce™ ECL Western Blotting Substrate (Product # 32106).

Phospho-ERK1/ERK2 (Thr185, Tyr187) Antibody in Cell treatment — Altered expression of proteins upon cell treatment demonstrates antibody specificity. Western blot of Phospho-ERK1/ERK2 (Thr185, Tyr187) using Anti - ERK1/2 [pTpY185/187]Rabbit polyclonal Antibody (Product # 44-680G), shows increase in expression of Phospho-ERK1/ERK2 (Thr185, Tyr187upon treatment with EGF in MDA-MB-231 cells. {TM}

The antiserum was produced against a chemically synthesized phosphopeptide derived from the region of human ERK1 and 2 that contains threonine 202/185 and tyrosine 204/187. This region is conserved among many species including rat, mouse, cow, frog, snail, nematode, and fruit fly.

Product Specific Information

Purified from rabbit serum by sequential epitope-specific chromatography, this product contains enough material for 10 mini-blots. The antibody has been negatively preadsorbed using a non-phosphopeptide corresponding to the sites of phosphorylation to remove antibody that is reactive with non-phosphorylated ERK1 and 2. The final product is generated by affinity chromatography using an ERK1 and 2-derived peptide that is phosphorylated at threonine 202/185 and tyrosine 204/187, respectively, within the activation loop.

This antibody has been used in western blotting and previous lots have been used in immunostaining. Other applications may work but have not been tested. The positive control used in western analysis were PC12 cells +/- Sorbitol; NIH3T3 +/- PDGF; and HEK293 +/- UV.

Target Information

ERK1 and ERK2 are widely expressed and are involved in the regulation of meiosis, mitosis, and postmitotic functions in differentiated cells. Many different stimuli, including growth factors, cytokines, virus infection, ligands for heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G protein)-coupled receptors and transforming agents, activate the ERK1 and ERK2 pathways. When growth factors bind to the receptor tyrosine kinase, Ras interacts with Raf, the serine/threonine protein kinase and activates it as well. Once actived, Raf phosphorylates serine residue in 2 further kinases, MEK1/2, which in turn phosphorylates tyrosine/threonine in extracellular-signal regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2. Upon activation, the ERKs either phosphorylate a number of cytoplasmic targets or migrate to the nucleus, where they phosphorylate and activate a number of transcription factors such as c-Fos and Elk-1.
