Fyn activity assay was performed with Universal Tyrosine Kinase Assay kit (Takara Bio Inc, Shiga, Japan) as described previously [27 (link)]. Briefly, homogenates were prepared and protein concentration was determined by BCA method. Samples (0.5-1 mg) were incubated with 4 μg of Fyn rabbit polyclonal antibody (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) coupled with Catch and Release® v2.0 Reversible Immunoprecipitation System (EMD Millipore). Samples were washed three times with NP-40 lysis buffer and once with the kinase reaction buffer. Immuno-complexes were diluted 2.5 fold and 40 μl samples and 10 μl ATP solution were incubated in an ELISA plate provided. Measurement of the kinase activity was performed according to the manufacturer's protocol.
