Application
Extracts of CHO-T cells over-expressing the human insulin receptor unstimulated (1) or stimulated with 100 nM insulin for 10 min at 37°C (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 and incubated with the IR/IGF1R [pYpY1162/1163] antibody for two hours at room temperature in a 3% BSA-TBST buffer, following prior incubation with: no peptide (1, 5), the phosphopeptide immunogen (2), the non-phosphorylated peptide corresponding to the phosphopeptide immunogen (3), or a generic phosphotyrosine-containing peptide (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 IR/IGF1R [pYpY1162/1163] completely blocks the antibody signal, demonstrating the specificity of the antibody. The data also show the up-regulation of this site upon stimulation with insulin in this cell system.
