Protocols

Description

CST's PathScan® Total c-Jun Sandwich ELISA Antibody Pair is offered as an alternative to our PathScan® Total c-Jun Sandwich ELISA Kit II #7150. Capture and Detection antibodies (100X stocks) and HRP-Conjugated Secondary Antibody (1000X stock) is supplied. Sufficient reagents are provided for performing 4 x 96 well ELISAs. The c-Jun Capture Antibody is coated in PBS overnight in a 96 well microplate. After blocking, cell lysates are added, followed by c-Jun Detection Antibody and HRP-Conjugated Secondary Antibody. HRP substrate, TMB, is added for color development. The magnitude of the absorbance at 450 nm is proportional to the quantity of total c-Jun protein.Antibodies in kit are custom formulations specific to kit.

Specificity / Sensitivity

For Antibody Pair specificity and sensitivity, please refer to the corresponding PathScan® Sandwich ELISA Kit. Note: This antibody pair detects proteins from the indicated species, as determined through in-house testing, but may also detect homologous proteins from other species.

Sandwich ELISA

The relationship between lysate protein concentration from untreated and UV treated 293 cells and the absorbance at 450 nm using PathScan® Total c-Jun Sandwich ELISA Antibody Pair #7314 is shown. 293 cells were UV-treated, allowed to recover for 30 minutes at 37ºC and then lysed.

Background

c-Jun is a member of the Jun family containing c-Jun, JunB, and JunD, and is a component of the transcription factor activator protein-1 (AP-1). AP-1 is composed of dimers of Fos, Jun, and ATF family members and binds to and activates transcription at TRE/AP-1 elements (reviewed in 1). Extracellular signals including growth factors, chemokines, and stress activate AP-1-dependent transcription. The transcriptional activity of c-Jun is regulated by phosphorylation at Ser63 and Ser73 through SAPK/JNK (reviewed in 2). Knock-out studies in mice have shown that c-Jun is essential for embryogenesis (3), and subsequent studies have demonstrated roles for c-Jun in various tissues and developmental processes including axon regeneration (4), liver regeneration (5), and T cell development (6). AP-1 regulated genes exert diverse biological functions including cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis, as well as transformation, invasion and metastasis, depending on cell type and context (7-9). Other target genes regulate survival, as well as hypoxia and angiogenesis (8,10). Research studies have implicated c-Jun as a promising therapeutic target for cancer, vascular remodeling, acute inflammation, and rheumatoid arthritis (11,12).
