G lisa cdc42 activation assay biochem kit

Manufactured by Cytoskeleton
Sourced in United States

The G-LISA Cdc42 Activation Assay Biochem Kit is a laboratory equipment product designed to detect and quantify the activation of the Cdc42 protein, a member of the Rho family of small GTPases, in biological samples. The kit utilizes a Cdc42-GTP-binding protein linked to the wells of a 96-well plate to capture and measure the active, GTP-bound form of Cdc42. The amount of active Cdc42 is then detected colorimetrically, providing a quantitative assessment of Cdc42 activation.

Endogenous Cdc42 activity was determined by GST-PBD pull-down assay. Briefly, the lysates were incubated at 4 °C for 1 h with GST-PBD beads and the amounts of total and active Cdc42 were detected by western blot. G-LISA Cdc42 Activation Assay Biochem Kit (Cytoskeleton, BK127) were used to measure levels of activated Cdc42 in 3D cysts according to the manufacturer's instructions.

HUVEC activation by S. aureus

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HUVEC were serum starved in base media containing DMSO or ML 141 (18-20 h). S. aureus cultures were washed as described above, incubated with FBS (15 min, RT) as the source of fibronectin, washed extensively, resuspended in saline, and incubated with HUVEC (MOI 1440, 1 h, 5% CO2, 37°C). Total protein concentration of lysates was determined, samples diluted to 0.125 mg/ml in lysis buffer containing protease inhibitors, and GTP-bound CDC42 detected using the G-LISA Cdc42 Activation Assay Biochem Kit (Cytoskeleton, Denver, CO). Of note, more concentrated lysates (0.25 mg/ml) appeared to saturate the assay.

Quantifying Active Cdc42 Levels

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Active Cdc42 was measured by G-LISA Cdc42 Activation Assay Biochem kit (colorimetric assay, Cytoskeleton, Denver, CO, USA) following the manufacturer's instruction. And the signal was measured at 490 nm with a microplate reader (MRX, Dynatech Laboratories, Chantilly, VA, USA). Total Cdc42 protein expression of each group was measured by WB, as described above. Cell lysate from each group containing the same amount of protein was measured in both Cdc42 GTPase activation assay and WB. Results were expressed as fold activity of stimulated in relation to non-stimulated controls normalized to total Cdc42 protein content.

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.
