Protocols

Specificity / Sensitivity

Phospho-p38 MAPK (Thr180/Tyr182) (28B10) Mouse mAb detects p38 MAPK only when activated by dual phosphorylation at Thr180 and Tyr182. This antibody does not significantly cross-react with the corresponding phosphorylated forms of either p44/42 MAPK (Erk1/2) or SAPK/JNK. It does not detect nonphosphorylated p38 MAPK.

Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phospho-peptide (KLH coupled) corresponding to residues around Thr180/Tyr182 of human p38 MAPK.

Western Blotting

Western Blotting

Western blot analysis of extracts from HeLa and NIH/3T3 cells, untreated or treated as indicated, using Phospho-p38 MAPK (Thr180/Tyr182) (28B10) Mouse mAb (upper) or p38 MAPK Antibody #9212 (lower).

Flow Cytometry

Flow Cytometry

Flow cytometric analysis of Jurkat cells, untreated (green) or anisomycin-treated (blue), using Phospho-p38 MAPK (Thr180/Tyr182) (28B10) Mouse mAb compared to a nonspecific negative control antibody (red).

Background

p38 MAP kinase (MAPK), also called RK (1) or CSBP (2), is the mammalian orthologue of the yeast HOG kinase that participates in a signaling cascade controlling cellular responses to cytokines and stress (1-4). Four isoforms of p38 MAP kinase, p38α, β, γ (also known as ERK6 or SAPK3) and δ (also known as SAPK4) have been identified. Similar to the SAPK/JNK pathway, p38 MAP kinase is activated by a variety of cellular stresses including osmotic shock, inflammatory cytokines, lipopolysaccharides (LPS), UV light and growth factors (1-5). MKK3, MKK6 and SEK activate p38 MAP kinase by phosphorylation at Thr180 and Tyr182. Activated p38 MAP kinase has been shown to phosphorylate and activate MAPKAP kinase 2 (3) and to phosphorylate the transcription factors ATF-2 (5), Max (6) and MEF2 (5-8).
