CytoSelect™ 96-Well Cell Transformation Assay—Traditional Soft Agar Colony Formation
Product Name Detection Size Catalog Number
CytoSelect™ 96-Well Cell Transformation Assay (Soft Agar Colony Formation)
Fluorometric 96 Wells CBA-130
5 x 96 Wells CBA-130-5
Our CytoSelect™ 96-Well Cell Transformation Assay (Soft Agar Colony Formation) is suitable for measur-ing malignant transformation where no downstream analysis is required. Transformed cells cannot be re-covered; however, no manual cell counting is re-quired. With this assay, cells are incubated in a semisolid agar medium for 6-8 days, then solubilized, lysed and detected using CyQuant® GR dye in a fluorometric plate reader.
• Fast Results: 6-8 days vs. 21 days • Plate Reader Convenience: Eliminates manual
counting • Versatile Format: Designed for 96-well through-
put, but can be adapted for 48, 24, 12 or 6-well
CELL-BASED ASSAYS Colony Formation Assays
Transformation of normal cells into neoplastic cells results in a population capable of pro-liferating independently of internal and external signals that normally restrain growth. The soft agar colony formation assay has traditionally been used to monitor anchorage-independent growth, employing 3-4 weeks of cell growth followed by manual cell counting.
We have advanced the soft agar assay to eliminate tedious manual cell counting, allow high-throughput drug screening, and enable recovery of transformed cells for downstream analysis. These advances have also allowed us to develop a unique kit for the separation of clonogenic cancer cells from normal cells in heterogeneous solid tumors.

B: Isolation of clonogenic colonies from single cells. C: Re-plated clonogenic colonies after 3 days (no trypsinization). D: Re-plated clonogenic colonies 1 day after trypsinization.
Clean separation of clonogenic tumor cells from nor-mal cells is critical for proper analysis of disease state progression. Due to the heterogeneity of many tu-mors, however, isolation of homogenous tumor cell populations can be difficult. The CytoSelect™ Clonogenic Tumor Cell Isolation Kit uses a proprietary semisolid agar medium to facilitate colony formation by cells from solid tumors. Colonies are grown in either a 6-well plate or a 35 mm dish. The colonies are then isolated away from single cells by size filtration.
• Efficient: Easily eliminates single cells from clonogenic tumor cell population
• Versatile: In addition to solid tumors, has potential use in isolating tumor stem cells

CytoSelect™ 24-Well Wound Healing / Cell Migration Assay
• Highly Accurate: More consistent results well-to-well compared to homemade scratch assays
• Versatile: Measure cell migration, cell prolifera-tion, and wound closure
• Inert Material: No residues from inserts to impede cell migration or proliferation
Wound healing assays are useful for studying tissue matrix remodeling, regulation of cytoskeletal struc-ture, and cell proliferation and migration rates of dif-ferent cells and culture conditions. Traditional wound healing assays are performed by making a scratch across a confluent cell monolayer to create an open gap, mimicking a “wound”. Such scratch assays, however, lack a consistently defined wound area and result in high inter-sample variation. Our CytoSelect™ 24-Well Wound Healing Assay provides a more consistent method to measure cell migration across a “wound field” gap in vitro. Pro-prietary treated inserts generate a consistently de-fined 0.9mm gap between the cells. Cells can then be treated and monitored for proliferation or migra-tion across the wound field by imaging samples at fixed time points or time-lapse microscopy.

CytoSelect™ 96-Well Phagocytosis Assays
Phagocytosis may be assayed by measuring the en-gulfing of a cell “substrate” such as an erythrocyte(RBC) or Zymosan particle. Traditional phagocytosis assays involve manually counting the engulfed sub-strates under a microscope. This process is tedious and time-consuming, can be somewhat inaccurate, and is not amenable to high throughput. CytoSelect™ 96-Well Phagocytosis Assays are more accurate, high-throughput alternatives to the standard phagocytosis assay. The assays may be adapted for use in 48-well and 24-well plates if desired.

STEM CELL RESEARCH Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells
iPS Cell Reprogramming
Reprogramming of adult cells into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS) has provided an im-portant new vehicle to facilitate stem cell research. Recent studies have shown that this may be accomplished by the introduction of key genes into somatic cells by transduction with various viral vectors or transfection of plasmids. Retroviral and lentiviral vectors appear to achieve among the highest levels of efficiency of iPS cell generation. We offer an extensive collection of vectors for iPS cell reprogramming.

pLenti-p53 shRNA (Mouse) Lentiviral Vector 100 µL LTV-451
Our pLentG-KOSM Lentiviral Vector provides a con-venient way to generate iPS cells. The defined stem cells factors Klf4, Oct-3/4, Sox2 and c-Myc are in-frame fused into a single open reading frame (ORF) by self-cleaving 2A peptides. The four genes are con-trolled by a single CMV promoter. The transcription factor ORF is followed by IRES-GFP as a reporter to verify viral transduction into your target cell. Efficien-cies of iPS generation are typically higher compared to transduction of four separate viruses each contain-ing a single gene. p53 shRNA has recently been shown to potentially increase efficiency of iPS production. Our p53 shRNA lentiviral vector may be transduced along with the pLentG-KOSM vector.
• More Efficient: Up to 10-fold higher efficiency compared to multi-virus transduction, and 500-fold compared to non-viral methods
• Reporter Convenience: Includes GFP reporter gene to monitor lentiviral transduction

Stem Cell Feeders
Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) is useful for maintaining the undifferentiated state of mouse embryonic stem (mES) cells. However, LIF does not have the same effect on hu-man embryonic stem (hES) cells. Therefore, hES cells require the use of feeder cells for both derivation and maintenance. We offer a variety of feeder cells for stem cell culture. All feeder cells must be mitotically inactivated prior to use.

CytoSelect™ 96-Well Hematopoietic Colony Forming Cell Assay
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), when cultured in a suitable semisolid matrix such as methylcellulose supplemented with cytokines & nutrients, proliferate to form discrete cell clusters or colonies. Such HSCs or hematopoietic progenitors are known as colony-forming cells (CFCs). In classic CFC assays, cells are cultured in a 35mm dish for 14-21 days so the colonies can reach a cer-tain size for manual counting, which can be tedious and subjective. The CytoSelect™ 96-Well Hematopoietic Colony Forming Cell Assay provides a high-throughput method to quantify CFCs in just 7-10 days with no manual cell counting required. Cells are lysed, solu-bilized, and quantified using a fluorescent dye in-cluded in the kit. Alternatively, cells may be recov-ered for further culture and analysis.

Adeno-Associated Virus Kits & Reagents
Adeno-associated virus (AAV) integrates into the host cell genome at a very specific site in one human chromosome. Random insertions are rare, making AAV less immunogenic than adenovirus or retrovirus. We offer a comprehensive line of AAV kits and reagents to ensure you get the best expression from your AAV expression studies:
AAV Helper Free Expression System
Ordering information for AAV Helper Free Expression Systems, Packaging Systems, Expression Vectors, and Control Plasmids may be found on the following page.
Production of recombinant AAV requires certain genes from the adenovirus genome, which means that an adenovirus usually needs to be present. The AAV Helper Free System eliminates the need for a helper adenovirus. Most of the required adenoviral genes (E2A, E4 and VA RNA) are provided in a pHelper plasmid, while the required E1 gene is pro-vided by the 293 packaging cells.
• Safer: pHelper plasmid eliminates the need for a helper virus
• Flexible: Packaging vectors and expression vec-tors available separately or as one complete sys-tem
• Control Vectors: GFP, Cre or LacZ
• Purification Kits • Quantitation / Titer Kit • Transduction Kits

Our ViraDuctin™ AAV Transduction Reagent can significantly increase the transduction efficiency of AAV vectors in both dividing and non-dividing cells. Increases are greatest in non-dividing cells, but even cells in S-phase show a noticeable increase in trans-duction efficiencies.
• Higher Efficiencies: Significantly increase rate of infection of host cells
• Low Toxicity: No noticeable effect on cell viability • Universal: Suitable for use with both dividing and
non-dividing cells
Successful gene expression studies using AAV depend on high transduction efficiencies into host cells. Infection rates appear to be highest in S-phase cells, which can account for a very small fraction of a cell population.

RAPAd® Adenoviral Expression Systems
*Allows you the flexibility to clone your own promoter along with your gene of interest.
Adenovirus Production using the RAPAd® Adenoviral Expression System.
Adenoviruses are useful for delivering genes into a wide variety of cell types. Traditional recombination methods, however, take several months and require tedious plaque purification. More recent technolo-gies have shortened the time required, but these methods still produce relatively high levels of wild-type (replication-competent) plaques, levels that in-crease even further with serial amplification. The RAPAd® Adenoviral Expression Systems pro-duce recombinant adenovirus with substantial re-duction in wild-type adenovirus, while doing so in a much shorter 2 week time frame. The systems use a backbone vector from which the 5’ ITR, packaging signal and E1 sequences have been removed. Addi-tionally, serial amplification of the recombinant ade-novirus does not increase the level of replication-competent adenovirus.
• Virtually No Wild-Type Virus: Backbone vector engineered to produce <300 wild-type plaques per 109 particles, compared with 104-106 WT plaques per 109 VP with most other methods
• Faster Virus Production: Virus generated in 2 weeks compared to a few months with traditional methods
• 5 Complete Systems: Choose CMV or RSV as your promoter for gene expression, EF-1 for miRNA expression, or clone your own promoter along with your gene of interest for maximum versatility

This kit uses the assay principles of the QuickTiter™ Adenovirus Titer Immunoassay Kit (see page 41), but is designed specifically to measure the level of repli-cation-competent virus in your adenoviral prep.
Adenovirus infection of target cells is mediated largely by the coxsackievirus-adenovirus receptor (CAR). Generally adenoviral transduction of many immortalized cell lines proceeds with a high level of efficiency. However, in many primary cells this re-ceptor is either absent or present at extremely low-levels. This can reduce the efficiency of adenovirus transduction into your cell of choice. ViraDuctin™ Adenovirus Transduction Reagent is designed specifically to increase the efficiency of adenoviral transduction, without regard to the level of CAR expression on the surface of the target cells.
• Higher Transduction Efficiency: Up to 12-fold increase in adenoviral uptake
• User-Friendly: Short incubation step prior to host cell infection
• Versatile: Ideal for target cells expressing little or no CAR, but may also improve transduction efficiency for CAR-expressing cells

Assay Principle for the QuickTiter™ Lentivirus Titer Kit. Upon transfection of lentiviral packaging plasmids into 293T cells, lenti-virus particles are packaged with p24 protein. However, additional free p24 protein not associated with virus is present in viral super-natant. A traditional p24 ELISA will detect both sources of p24 which overestimates viral titer. The QuickTiter™ Lentivirus Titer Kit uses proprietary technology to pull the virus out of solution prior to quantitation, providing a more accurate measurement of viral titer.

VIRAL EXPRESSION Lentiviral Expression
QuickTiter™ Lentivirus Titer / Quantitation Kits
Measuring lentiviral titer is important prior to infection of your target cells, and one of the most published methods is the p24 ELISA. Our traditional p24 ELISA kits provide a quick, convenient way to quantify the concentration of your lentivirus. Individual kits are available to measure either HIV-1 or FIV concentra-tions. One disadvantage of using a traditional p24 ELISA to quantify lentivirus is the overexpression of p24 during lentiviral packaging. Free p24 protein may account for a substantial portion of total p24 in lentiviral super-natant. The traditional p24 ELISA detects both virus-associated p24 and free p24 generated by 293T cells during transient transfection. Our QuickTiter™ Lenti-virus Titer Kit minimizes the overestimation of p24 in lentivirus supernatant. Our proprietary technology separates the lentivirus-associated p24 from free p24 protein prior to performing the ELISA. If you need a very quick estimate of your lentiviral concentration, try the QuickTiter™ Lentivirus Quanti-tation Kit. This kit specifically measures the viral nu-cleic acid content of purified virus or unpurified viral supernatant. This method is ideal for a quick meas-urement of viral titer, either before or after purification of your lentivirus.
• More Accurate: Exclusive technology in Quick-Titer™ Lentivirus Titer Kit minimizes overestima-tion of virus titer
• User-Friendly: Read results on a standard microplate reader

ViraBind™ Lentivirus Concentration & Purification Kits
Lentivirus Concentration and Purification Procedure.
Ultracentrifugation methods used for lentiviral super-natants are tedious and time-consuming and usually only partially purify your virus. Alternatively, filter-based methods have low sample capacity and do not substantially concentrate the virus. ViraBind™ Lentivirus Concentration and Purification Kits produce purified lentivirus with extremely high titer without the need for ultracentrifugation. The virus is pelleted from solution using our proprietary isola-tion technology, then resuspended in a smaller vol-ume. The resuspended lentivirus is then applied to either a purification column or a dialysis device for purification. If desired, the purified virus may be fur-ther concentrated using a centrifugal concentrator.
• Fast: Obtain purified virus in about 4-6 hours with column-based kits and 10-24 hours with dialysis-based kits
• High Titer: Concentrate up to 500-fold to as high as 108-1010 TU/ml, sufficient for in vivo studies
• High Yield: Recover >60%

Transduction of 293AD and HT-1080 Cells. 293AD cells (p. 36) and HT-1080 cells were each seeded at 50,000 cells/well in a 24-well plate overnight. Cells were infected with GFP lentivirus for 48 hours in the presence of no additive (left), Polybrene® (middle) or the Vira-Ductin™ reagent cocktail (right).
Transduction Efficiencies in Various Cell Lines. NIH3T3 cells, HeLa cells, our own 293AD cells (page 36) and HT-1080 cells were each seeded at 50,000 cells/well in a 24-well plate overnight. Cells were infected with GFP lentivirus for 48 hours in the presence of Polybrene® or ViraDuctin™ Lentivirus Transduc-tion Kit. For each cell line, fluorescence levels using the Vira-Ductin™ system are depicted relative to a normalized fluores-cence of 100 for Polybrene®.
The efficiency of lentivirus transduction is typically low. Additives such as Polybrene® can boost trans-duction efficiencies, but even then only a small frac-tion of lentiviral vectors can transduce many target cell lines. Our ViraDuctin™ Lentivirus Transduction Kit provides superior transduction efficiencies in a variety of cell lines, even when compared to transductions in the presence of Polybrene®. The ViraDuctin™ system is ideal for primary cells and stem cells.
• Higher Transduction Efficiency: 2-6x higher in many cell lines compared to Polybrene
• More Robust: Useful for transduction of non-permissive cells, including primary cells and stem cells
Polybrene is a registered trademark of Abbott Laboratories.
*Based on a 24-well plate. Can also be used with 96-well, 12-well or 6-well plates, as well as 60mm or 100mm dishes. See product insert.

Retroviral Cloning & Expression Vectors
Our Retroviral Expression Vectors contain multiple cloning sites (MCS) to allow easy introduction of your gene of interest. The vectors are based on backbones derived from Moloney murine leukemia virus (MMLV). The backbone is either the traditional pBABE system or the newer pMXs/pMYs/pMZs system, which has been shown to be useful in induced pluripotent stem cell (iPS) studies. Specifically pMYs vectors are opti-mal for use with hematopoietic stem cells, and pMCs vectors are optimal for ES and EC cells. All cloning vectors are supplied as 10 µg in TE buffer.

Retrovirus Production Using the Platinum Retroviral Expression Systems.
Retroviral vectors are useful for delivering genes of interest into a host cell where integration into the ge-nome is desired. However, traditional retroviral ex-pression technologies usually result in low viral titers, making gene expression studies difficult. This is mainly due to poor expression of retroviral structure proteins (e.g. gag, pol, and env) in the cells. Our Platinum Retroviral Expression Systems incorpo-rate superior packaging cell lines and vector technolo-gies to produce high-titer virus with a single plasmid transfection. Each Platinum Expression System in-cludes one of our exclusive Platinum Packaging Cell Lines which stably express the gag and pol genes. In the Ecotropic and Amphotropic systems, the packag-ing cells also express the envelope protein.* Simply clone your gene of interest into the vector provided and transfect into the Platinum cells.
Not sure which Platinum Expression System is right for you? See the table below for a selection guide based on the host species of your target cell.
*Pantropic systems require co-transfection with VSVG envelope vector.

200 Transductions RV-201 ViraDuctin™ Retrovirus Transduction Kit
Our ViraDuctin™ Retrovirus Transduction Kit pro-vides superior transduction efficiencies even when compared to transductions in the presence of Poly-brene®. A proprietary reagent cocktail forms a super-complex with the retrovirus which is pelleted away from the supernatant, removing detrimental transduc-tion inhibitors that decrease infection efficiency.
• More Robust: Removes harmful transduction inhibitors from retroviral supernatant
• Higher Transduction Efficiencies: Compared to infections in the presence of Polybrene or no additives
Polybrene is a registered trademark of Abbott Laboratories.
*Number of transductions shown is based on use in a 24-well plate. This product may also be used with 96-well, 12-well or 6-well plates, as well as 60mm or 100mm dishes. See product insert for specific details.
The efficiency of retrovirus transduction can be low compared to other viruses. The rate at which retroviral vec-tors bind to cells is controlled mostly by diffusion. Additionally, the presence of transduction inhibitors such as proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans in retroviral supernatants can lead to poor gene transfer. Additives such as Polybrene® can boost transduction efficiencies, but they do not eliminate these transduction inhibitors.

QuickTiter™ HBV and HCV Core Antigen ELISA Kits
These kits specifically quantify the core antigens of Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C viruses, respectively. A mouse monoclonal antibody is coated onto an 8 x 12 strip-well plate which allows the flexibility to save some of the wells for later use.
• Sensitive: Detect as little as 1 ng/mL • Fast: Results in about 5-6 hours • Fully Quantitative: Recombinant core antigen
included as positive control

sion to allow selection by either marker Each expression vector is provided with a null (empty) control vector at no extra charge. Null control vectors are also sold separately for use with vectors from our miRNASelect™ Precursor Clone Collection.
miRNASelect™ Functional Analysis Reporter System
Product Name Size Catalog Number
1 Kit MIR-GFP miRNASelect™ pMIR-GFP Reporter System
Assay Principle. If miRNA is pre-sent and binds to the 3’ UTR, trans-lation of the GFP gene is repressed, resulting in loss of fluorescence.
The miRNASelect™ Functional Analysis Reporter System provides a simple method for the evalua-tion of potential targets of miRNA. Binding of miRNA sequences to their suspected targets re-sults in repression of translation. In this system the miRNA target sequence, such as a 3’ UTR, is cloned into the provided pMIR-GFP vector in the multiple cloning sites immedi-ately downstream of the GFP gene. If the miRNA is present and binds to the target sequence, trans-lation is repressed and no green fluorescence ap-pears. If the miRNA does not bind the target se-quence, GFP translation occurs normally and green fluorescence may be seen.

Product Name Size Catalog Number
1 Kit VPK-253 RAPAd® miRNA Adenoviral Expression System
RAPAd® Adenoviral Expression Systems produce recombinant adenovirus with substantial reduction in wild-type adenovirus, while doing so in a much shorter 2 week time frame. The systems use a backbone vector from which the 5’ ITR, packaging signal and E1 sequences have been removed. Additionally, serial amplification of the recombinant adenovirus does not increase the level of replica-tion-competent adenovirus.
• Virtually No Wild-Type Virus: Backbone vector engineered to produce <300 wild-type plaques per 109 particles, compared with 104-106 WT plaques per 109 VP with most other methods
• Faster Virus Production: Virus generated in 2 weeks compared to a few months with traditional methods
For more information on our complete selection of RAPAd® Adenovirus Expression Systems for gene expression studies, please see page 37.
The RAPAd® miRNA Adenoviral Expression System is specifically designed to deliver miRNA sequences into your target cell.

Assays for Oxidative Protein Damage
Cellular proteins are subject to damage in the presence of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The resulting protein damage may take the form of nitration or oxidation of various amino acid residues, or may result in formation of advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP). We have developed unique assays to detect protein damage with higher sensitivity and more user-friendly protocols.

Nitric oxide influences a variety of biological processes including cell proliferation, apoptosis, neurotoxicity and extracellular matrix remodeling. Nitric oxide reacts with superoxide to form peroxynitrite, which in turn nitrates tyrosine residues in proteins. Nitrotyrosine therefore serves as a marker for peroxynitrite action in a variety of disease states and in conditions of cellular damage.

Assays for DNA & RNA Damage
DNA is arguably the most biologically significant target of oxidative and cellular stress. Continuous DNA damage has been implicated in age-related development of various can-cers. More recently, RNA damage has been described in conjunction with various neuro-logical diseases including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. We offer a wide range of assays to measure the most common types of DNA and RNA damage in cells.
OxiSelect™ Oxidative DNA / RNA Damage ELISA Kits (8-OHdG or 8-OHG Quantitation) Among numerous types of oxidative DNA damage, 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) is a ubiquitous marker of oxidative stress. 8-OHdG, one of the by-products of DNA oxidative damage, is physiologi-cally formed and enhanced by chemical carcino-gens. Our OxiSelect™ Oxidative DNA Damage ELISA Kit provides a powerful method for rapid quantitation of 8-OHdG in DNA samples. The OxiSelect™ Oxida-tive RNA Damage ELISA Kit uses the same assay principle, but is useful for measuring 8-OHG forma-tion, the primary marker for RNA oxidation.
• Highly Sensitive: Detect as little as 100 pg/mL of 8-OHdG or 300 pg/mL of 8-OHG
• Versatile: Suitable for use with urine, serum, cerebrospinal fluid, and cell or tissue samples

DNA damage can result from a variety of intracellu-lar and extracellular stimuli, and can manifest in a variety of mutations to the DNA including base modi-fications, missing bases and single-stranded or dou-ble-stranded breaks. Traditionally the comet assay, or single cell gel elec-trophoresis (SCGE), has been used as a well-published, high-level screening tool to measure DNA damage in single cells. Our OxiSelect™ Comet Assay Kits provide a quick, easy method to screen for DNA damage at a macro level. Our OxiSelect™ Comet Assay Slides have been specially treated for adhesion of low-melting agarose used in the assay. Damaged DNA moves farther in electrophoresis than intact DNA, causing a “tail” to form upon visualization under a fluorescence microscope.
• Versatile: High-level screening tool for DNA damage from a wide variety of sources
• User Friendly: Simple protocol with easy visu-alization by epifluorescence microscopy

Double-strand breaks (DSB) are among the most dangerous types of DNA damage within cells. An early cellular response is phosphorylation of the his-tone variant H2AX at the site of the DSB. This trig-gers a cascade of events and appears to play a role in recruitment of repair factors to the damaged sites. Our OxiSelect™ DNA Double-Strand Break Staining Kit provides an easy-to-use method for detecting DNA breaks. The kit utilizes simple immunofluores-cence staining of the phosphorylated histone H2AX.
• Fast: See staining results in about 3 hours • Positive Control: DNA Double-strand break

Oxidative DNA Damage can manifest in the forma-tion of apurinic or apyrimidinic (AP) sites, also known as loss of bases. Spontaneous base loss, if unrepaired, can inhibit transcription and may be mutagenic. Our OxiSelect™ Oxidative DNA Damage Quantita-tion Kit provides a simple, user-friendly method for measuring AP sites in DNA. The assay uses an al-dehyde reactive probe (ARP) which specifically re-acts with an aldehyde group on the open ring of the AP site, followed by labeling with Biotin and subse-quent detection by Streptavidin-enzyme conjugate.

Antioxidant Assays
OxiSelect™ Superoxide Dismutase Activity Assay
ROS generation is normally counterbalanced by the action of antioxidant enzymes and other redox molecules. We offer two types of assays for antioxidant quantitation:
Superoxide dismutase (SOD), which catalyzes the dismutation of the superoxide anion into hydrogen peroxide and molecular oxygen, is one of the most important antioxidant enzymes. The OxiSelect™ Superoxide Dismutase Activity As-say uses a xanthine/xanthine oxidase (XOD) system to generate superoxide anions and a chromagen to produce a water-soluble dye upon reduction by the superoxide anions. SOD activity is determined as the inhibition or reduction of chromagen.
• Sensitive: Detect as little as 0.6 units/mL • Fast: Obtain results in about 2 hours • Quantitative: SOD standard included as positive
control • Versatile: Suitable for use with urine, serum, cells
or tissue samples

Hydrogen peroxide is one of the most damaging re-active oxygen species. Our OxiSelect™ Peroxide Assay Kits provide a simple method for quantitation of hydrogen peroxide and other peroxides. Assays are available with either colorimetric or fluorometric detection. Our colorimetric assay measures the oxidation of ferrous (Fe2+) ions to ferric (Fe3+) ions in the pres-ence of peroxides. The ferric ions form a complex with a provided dye which may be read on a stan-dard microplate reader. The assay may be run with either aqueous phase or lipid phase samples. The fluorometric assay uses a probe which is con-verted from a non-fluorescent to a fluorescent state in the presence of peroxides and catalyzed by per-oxidases.

Active Rac-GEF Assay Kit (Tiam1) Immunoblot/ECL 20 Assays STA-422
Visible Agarose Beads. Beads are easy to visualize, making it easier to avoid po-tential loss during washes and aspirations.
Active Rac-GEF Assay Kit (Tiam1)
Guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) activate small GTPases by catalyzing the exchange of GDP for GTP. Our Active Rac-GEF Assay Kit uses the agarose bead technology of our Small GTPase Activation Assays (see previous page) to pull down the active form of Rac-GEFs from endogenous lysates or purified samples. The specific GEF known as Tiam1 is then specifically detected with a polyclonal antibody.

Rho Kinase (ROCK) Activity Assays
Rho Kinase (ROCK) is a serine/threonine kinase which is a target of Rho. ROCK mediates Rho signaling and reorganizes the actin cytoskeleton via the phosphorylation of several substrates that contribute to contractility and the assembly of actin filaments.
Our ROCK Activity Assays use a non-radioactive format to measure the level of active ROCK in cell or tissue lysates. The Immunoblot kit provides a convenient format for measuring ROCK activity in a few samples, while the ELISA kit contains a strip-well plate precoated with recombinant MYPT1 for higher throughput.

Phospho Antibody Stripping Solution
Western blot blockers such as dry milk or serum are sufficient to block unreactive sites on the membrane. However, they are not designed to preserve phos-phoprotein antigens during blotting.
• High Sensitivity: Enhances low level phospho-protein signal without increasing background
• Easy-to-use: Premixed dry blend
This solution removes anti-phosphoantibodies selec-tively from blots without significantly affecting the immobilized proteins, allowing re-probing of the blot with the same or a different antibody. Stripping of antibodies is done at room temperature, so no heat-ing of blots is required.
