Application
Extracts of Murine T cells were left untreated (1) or treated with PMA and Ca2+ ionophore ionomycin (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 degree C, then incubated with the NFAT1 [pS54] (mouse) antibody in a 3% BSA-TBST buffer for two hours at room temperature, following prior incubation with: no peptide (1,2), the non-phosphopeptide corresponding to the phosphopeptide immunogen (3), a generic phosphoserine-containing peptide (4), or the phosphopeptide immunogen (5). After washing, the membrane was incubated with goat anti rabbit IgG alkaline phosphatase. The data show only the phopshopeptide corresponding to NFAT1 [pS54] (mouse) completely blocks the antibody signal, demonstrating specificity of the antibody. The data also show the upregulation of NFAT1 upon PMA Ca2+ ionophore ionomycin treatment in this cell system.
