Application
Extracts of A431 cells unstimulated (1) or stimulated with 200 ng/mL EGF for 15 minutes (2-5) were resolved by SDS-PAGE on a 10% Tris-glycine gel and transferred to PVDF. The membrane was blocked with a 5% BSA-TBST buffer overnight at 4°C, then incubated with the EGFR [pY1086] antibody for two hours at room temperature in a 1% BSA-TBST buffer, following prior incubation with: no peptide (1), the non-phosphopeptide corresponding to the phosphopeptide immunogen (2), a generic phosphotyrosine-containing peptide (3), or the phosphopeptide immunogen (4). After washing, the membrane was incubated with goat F(ab)2 anti-rabbit IgG HRP conjugate and signals were detected. The data show that only the phosphopeptide corresponding to EGFR [pY1086] blocks the antibody signal, demonstrating the specificity of the antibody. The data also show the induction of EGFR [pY1086] phosphorylation by the addition of EGF to this cell system.
