Figure 1: Treatment of A431 cells with EGF stimulates phosphorylation of EGF Receptor at Tyr1068, detected by PathScan® Phospho-EGF Receptor (Tyr1068) Sandwich ELISA kit #7240, but does not affect the level of total EGF Receptor detected by PathScan® Total EGF Receptor Sandwich ELISA kit #7250. OD 450 nm readings are shown in the top figure, while the corresponding Western blot using Phospho-EGF Receptor (Tyr1068) Antibody #2234 (right panel) or EGF Receptor Antibody #2232 (left panel), is shown in the bottom figure.
Figure 2: The relationship between protein concentration of lysates from untreated and EGF-treated A431 cells and kit assay optical density readings. After starvation, A431 cells (85% confluence) were treated with EGF (100 ng/ml) for 5 min at 37°C, and then lysed.
