Total zap 70

Manufactured by Cell Signaling Technology

Total ZAP-70 is a cell-based ELISA kit designed to quantify the total expression of the ZAP-70 protein. ZAP-70 is a key signaling molecule involved in T-cell receptor signaling. The kit provides a reproducible and sensitive method to measure the total levels of ZAP-70 in cell lysates.

Phospho-Zap-70 Immunoblotting Protocol

About 1 × 107 CD4+ T-cells were stimulated with aCD3-/CD28-coated microbeads for 30 min in the presence/absence of PRBCs or 1 mM NAC. Thereafter, cells were washed thoroughly using RBC lysis buffer (154 mM NH4Cl, 10 mM KHCO3, and 100 μM Na2 EDTA). Washed CD4+ T-cells were lysed with radioimmunoprecipitation assay buffer supplemented with protease inhibitor and phosphatase inhibitors (all Sigma–Aldrich). After 30 min of incubation on ice with periodic pulse vortexing, cell lysates were centrifuged at 16,000g for 15 min at +4 °C. For equal loading, protein concentration was measured using Pierce BCA Protein Assay Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific) according to manufacturing instructions. A 4%–12% SDS-PAGE (BioRad) was used to separate proteins following a transfer onto polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (GE Healthcare). The membrane was blocked with bovine serum albumin (Sigma–Aldrich), and the following antibodies were used for incubation overnight: Phospho-Zap-70 (Tyr319)/Syk (Tyr352) (1:2000, #2701; Cell Signaling Technology) and total Zap-70 (1:1000, 99F2; Cell Signaling Technology). Protein bands were visualized using horseradish peroxidase–linked anti-rabbit (Cell Signaling Technology) or antigoat (Abcam) antibodies and SuperSignal West Pico Chemiluminescent Substrate (Thermo Fisher Scientific).

Immunoblot Analysis of Signaling Proteins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cellular lysates were mixed with Laemmli sample buffer, heated at 95°C for 5 minutes and separated on NuPAGE Bis-Tris gels by electrophoresis and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes using the iBlot transfer system (Thermo Scientific). Membranes were incubated in previously heated 3% fat-free dry milk for 1 hour at room temperature followed by overnight incubation with primary antibodies. Proteins were detected with Super Signal West Dura (Thermo Scientific #34075) using a Bio-Rad ChemiDoc MP imaging system. Immunoblots were quantified using ImageJ (NIH) by stripping and reprobing the same membrane for the indicated loading controls for normalization. Integrated Density (IntDen, the product of area and mean gray value) was calculated for each condition. In each experiment, the IntDen value was obtained for each condition, and was normalized to the value obtained in the control stimulated LV condition using the following formula: (IntDen value/ IntDen value at stimulated LV). Primary antibodies used were: pLck (Y394, R&D Systems), pZAP-70 (Y319), total Lck, total ZAP-70, total LAT and anti-HA from Cell Signaling, pLAT(Y226) from Biolegend, beta-Actin and GAPDH from Sigma.

IL-2 cytokine released into cell culture supernatant was quantified using human IL-2 ELISA kit (BD Biosciences) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Jurkat cells were stimulated with anti-CD3 (5 μg/ml) for the indicated times prior to addition of cell lysis buffer (Cell Signaling). Following PMA/Ionomycin stimulation for 15 minutes, nuclear proteins were isolated using nuclear protein isolation kit (NEPER, Thermo Scientific) following manufacturer’s instructions. Proteins were separated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes (BIORAD). Membranes were incubated in protein-free blocking buffer (Thermo Scientific) for 1 hour at room temperature followed by incubation with primary antibodies. Proteins were detected with Amersham ECL (GE Healthcare) using a Kodak Imager. Primary antibodies used were: NFAT and pLAT(Y226; BD Biosciences); total LAT (Biolegend); pZAP70 (Y319); total ZAP70; pLck (Y394/ pSrcY416); total Lck (Y394); Csk; YY1 (all from Cell Signaling Technology); PTPRE (Origene, clone 4B2). Immunoblots were quantified by ImageJ.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
