The phospho-ZAP-70 (Tyr319) assay enables the cell-based quantitative detection of ZAP-70 phosphorylated on Ser Tyr319 as a readout of T-cell activation.
For research use only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures. All products to be used in accordance with applicable laws and regulations including without limitation, consumption & disposal requirements under European REACH regulations (EC 1907/2006).
The Phospho-ZAP-70 (Tyr319) cellular assay is ideal for monitoring T-cell activation, which results in the phosphorylation of ZAP-70 on Tyrosine 319. ZAP-70 is a cytoplasmic protein tyrosine kinase expressed in T and NK cells, and plays a critical role in the events involved in initiating T-cell responses by the antigen receptor.

The Phospho-ZAP-70 (Tyr139) assay measures ZAP-70 when phosphorylated at Tyr139. Contrary to Western Blot, the assay is entirely plate-based and does not require gels, electrophoresis or transfer. The Phospho-ZAP-70 (Tyr139) assay uses 2 labeled antibodies: one with a donor fluorophore, the other one with an acceptor. The first antibody is selected for its specific binding to the phosphorylated motif on the protein, the second for its ability to recognize the protein independent of its phosphorylation state. Protein phosphorylation enables an immune-complex formation involving both labeled antibodies and which brings the donor fluorophore into close proximity to the acceptor, thereby generating a FRET signal. Its intensity is directly proportional to the concentration of phosphorylated protein present in the sample, and provides a means of assessing the proteins phosphorylation state under a no-wash assay format.
The 2 plate protocol involves culturing cells in a 96-well plate before lysis then transferring lysates to a 384-well low volume detection plate before adding phospho-ZAP-70 (Tyr139) HTRF detection reagents. This protocol enables the cells' viability and confluence to be monitored.
Detection of Phosphorylated ZAP-70 (Tyr139) with HTRF reagents can be performed in a single plate used for culturing, stimulation and lysis. No washing steps are required. This HTS designed protocol enables miniaturization while maintaining robust HTRF quality.
Jurkat cells were grown in a T175cm2 flask for 2 days in RPMI culture medium supplemented by 10% FBS, at 37°C in 5% CO2 atmosphere. 4.5 ml of cell suspension (13 x 106 cells / mL) were stimulated with anti-CD3 antibody (20 µg / mL final concentration during 2.5min). After stimulation, cells were lysed at RT for 30 min by adding 2.25 mL of 4X supplemented lysis buffer. Neat lysate was then serially diluted in the same supplemented lysis buffer. 16 µL of each dilution were analyzed in parallel by HTRF or Western Blot
This assay was performed using the two-plate assay protocol. Jurkat cells were plated in a 96-well culture plate at 200K cells or 400K cells and 25 µL / well, in complete RPMI culture medium with 10% FBS. Cell stimulation was done by anti-CD3 Ab at the final concentration of 20 µg / mL for 2.5 min. Cells lysis was performed using 10 µL of 4X supplemented lysis buffer. 16 µL of each cell lysate were transferred to the detection plate for analysis using HTRF Phospho ZAP-70 (Tyr319) assays.
This assay was performed using the two-plate assay protocol. Jurkat cells were plated in a 96-well culture plate at 400 K cells, using 25 µL / well in complete RPMI culture medium with 10% FBS. Cell stimulation was performed using the anti-CD3 Ab at the final concentration of 20 µg / mL for different stimulation times (min). After stimulation, cells were lysed with 10 µL of 4X supplemented lysis buffer. 16 µl of each cell lysate type were analyzed with the HTRF phospho ZAP-70 (Tyr319) assay.
As Phospho ZAP-70 (Tyr319) is a readout of T cell activation, it was used to monitor the inhibitory effect of PD-L1 recombinant protein on T cell activation. This assay was performed using the two-plate assay protocol. 400 000 Jurkat cells were plated in 25 µL of complete RPMI culture medium with 10% FBS in a 96-well culture plate. Cells were pre-incubated 24 hours with different concentrations of PD-L1 recombinant protein. Cells were then stimulated for 2.5 min with 20 µg / mL anti-CD3 Ab (final concentration) and lysed directly with10 µL of 4X supplemented lysis buffer, then incubated 30 min at RT. 16µL of each sample were analyzed using Phospho ZAP-70 (Tyr319) and Total ZAP-70 assays. Phospho ZAP-70 results were normalized with the Total ZAP-70 amount and plotted on a graph. A slight but significant inhibitory effect of PD-L1 recombinant protein was recorded with the Phospho ZAP-70 (Tyr319) assay at the final concentration of 40 µg / mL.
TCR engagement promotes the phosphorylation of immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs) on the cytosolic side of the TCR/CD3 complex by lymphocyte protein tyrosine kinase (Lck). Zap-70 is recruited to the TCR/CD3 complex where it becomes phosphorylated and activated, promoting recruitment and phosphorylation of downstream adaptor or scaffold proteins.
