The AlphaLISA™ SureFire® Biotin-Free Human and Mouse Phospho-ERK1/2 (Thr202/Tyr204) assay is a sandwich immunoassay for quantitative detection of phospho-ERK1/2 (Thr202/Tyr204) in cellular lysates using Alpha Technology.
Extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2 (ERK1/2) are central components of the MAPK signaling cascade, regulating cell growth, survival, and differentiation. Activated by MEK1/2 through phosphorylation, ERK1/2 phosphorylate diverse cytoplasmic and nuclear targets. ERK1/2 dysregulation is associated with cancer, driving tumor proliferation and resistance to therapy, and with neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, where it influences amyloid plaque formation.

The Phospho-AlphaLISA SureFire Biotin Free assay measures a protein target when phosphorylated at a specific residue.
The assay uses two antibodies which recognize the phospho epitope and a distal epitope on the targeted protein. AlphaLISA assays require two bead types: Acceptor and Donor beads. Acceptor beads are coated with a proprietary CaptSure™ agent to specifically immobilize the assay specific antibody, labeled with a CaptSure tag. Donor beads are coated with a proprietary CaptSure 3 agent to capture one of the detection antibodies, which is labeled with CaptSure 3 tag. In the presence of phosphorylated protein, the two antibodies bring the Donor and Acceptor beads in close proximity whereby the singlet oxygen transfers energy to excite the Acceptor bead, allowing the generation of a luminescent Alpha signal. The amount of light emission is directly proportional to the quantity of phosphoprotein present in the sample.
The two-plate protocol involves culturing and treating the cells in a 96-well plate before lysis, then transferring lysates into a 384-well Optiplate™ plate before the addition of Phospho-AlphaLISA SureFire Biotin Free detection reagents. This protocol permits the cells viability and confluence to be monitored. In addition, lysates from a single well can be used to measure multiple targets.
Detection of Phosphorylated target protein with AlphaLISA SureFire Biotin Free reagents can be performed in a single plate used for culturing, treatment, and lysis. No washing steps are required. This HTS designed protocol allows for miniaturization while maintaining robust AlphaLISA SureFire quality.
Jurkat cells were seeded in a 96-well plate (200,000 cells/well) in complete RPMI 1640 medium and treated with increasing concentrations of PMA for 15 minutes.
After treatment, the cells were lysed with the addition of 50 µL of 5X Lysis Buffer for 10 minutes at RT with shaking (350 rpm). ERK1/2 Phospho (Thr202/Tyr204) and Total levels were evaluated using respective AlphaLISA SureFire Biotin Free assays. For the detection step, 10 µL of cell lysate (approximately 8,000 cells) was transferred into a 384-well white OptiPlate, followed by 5 µL of Acceptor mix and incubated for 1 hour at RT. Finally, 5 µL of Donor mix was then added to each well and incubated for 1 hour at RT in the dark. The plate was read on an Envision using standard AlphaLISA settings.
As expected, PMA triggered a dose-dependent increase in the levels of Phospho ERK1/2 (Thr202/Tyr204) while Total ERK1/2 levels remained unchanged.
Jurkat cells were seeded in a 96-well plate (200,000 cells/well) in serum-free RPMI 1640 medium. The cells were starved for 1 hour and then treated with increasing concentrations of Anti-CD3 antibody for 5 minutes. After treatment, the cells were lysed with the addition of 50 µL of 5X Lysis Buffer for 10 minutes at RT with shaking (350 rpm). ERK1/2 Phospho (Thr202/Tyr204) and Total levels were evaluated using respective AlphaLISA SureFire Biotin Free assays.

After treatment, the cells were lysed with the addition of 50 µL of 5X Lysis Buffer for 10 minutes at RT with shaking (350 rpm). ERK1/2 Phospho (Thr202/Tyr204) and Total levels were evaluated using respective AlphaLISA SureFire Biotin Free assays.

PC3 cells were seeded in a 96-well plate (40,000 cells/well) in complete Ham’s F-12K (Kaighn’s) medium and incubated overnight at 37°C, 5% CO2. The cells were treated for 2 hours with increasing concentrations of AG1478 and then stimulated with 1 ng/mL of EGF for 30 minutes.
