Revvity, 64CRAFTPEH, HTRF Human Total c-RAF Detection Kit, 10,000 Assay Points

Overview
The Total c-Raf or Raf-1 Cellular Assay kit is designed for the robust quantification of total cRaf using a streamlined mix-and-read, no-wash protocol. cRaf plays a pivotal role in cell proliferation and differentiation. This kit can be used from basic research to high throughput drug screening. Its versatility means it is suitable for many applications, ranging from basic research to the analysis of pharmacological questions in cellular models, and has applications in oncology and infectious disease research.
HTRF assays offer many advantages over other technologies:

Homogeneous add-and-read format
No wash steps
Low background
Straightforward miniaturization from 96- or 384-well microplates to high density assay formats such as 384-well low volume and 1536-well plates
Stable signal, providing flexibility in time of readout or size of assays
How it works
Total-cRaf assay principle
The Total cRaf assay quantifies the expression level of cRaf in a cell lysate. Unlike Western Blot, the assay is entirely plate-based and does not require gels, electrophoresis, or transfer. The Total cRaf assay uses two labeled antibodies, one coupled to a donor fluorophore and the other to an acceptor. Both antibodies are highly specific for a distinct epitope on the protein. In the presence of eNOS in a cell extract, the addition of these conjugates brings the donor fluorophore into close proximity with the acceptor and thereby generates a FRET signal. Its intensity is directly proportional to the concentration of the protein present in the sample, and provides a means of assessing the protein's expression under a no-wash assay format.

 

TotalcRaf two-plate assay protocol
The two-plate protocol involves culturing cells in a 96-well plate before lysis. Then lysates are transferred into a 384-well low volume detection plate before the addition of HTRF Total cRaf detection reagents. This protocol enables the cells' viability and confluence to be monitored.

 

Total cRaf one-plate assay protocol
Detection of Total eNOS 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. Application-Cell Signaling
