Revvity, ASBF-PIRF5-A500, AlphaLISA SureFire Ultra Human Phospho-IRF5 (Ser446) Biotin Free Detection Kit, 500 Assay Points

Overview
Interferon regulatory factor 5 (IRF5) is a transcription factor involved in innate immunity and inflammatory responses, regulating the expression of type I interferons (IFN-alpha and IFN-beta) and pro-inflammatory cytokines. Activated by pattern recognition receptors such as Toll-like receptors (TLR), MDA5, or STING in response to viral infection, IRF5 plays a crucial role in antiviral defense. In its inactive form, IRF5 resides in the cytoplasm of uninfected cells. Upon activation, it undergoes phosphorylation, dimerization, and nuclear localization to drive gene expression. Dysregulation of IRF5 is linked to autoimmune diseases such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, as well as inflammatory cancers, where it modulates tumor-associated macrophages.
The AlphaLISA SureFire Biotin-Free Human Phospho-IRF5 (Ser446) Detection Kit is a sandwich immunoassay for the quantitative detection of phospho-IRF5 (Ser446) in cellular lysates, using Alpha Technology.

How it works
Phospho-AlphaLISA SureFire Ultra Biotin Free assay principle
The Phospho-AlphaLISA SureFire Ultra Biotin Free assay measures a protein target when phosphorylated at a specific residue.The assay uses two antibodies which recognize the phospho epitope and a distal epitope on the targeted protein. AlphaLISA assays require two bead types: Acceptor and Donor beads. Acceptor beads are coated with a proprietary CaptSure™ agent to specifically immobilize the assay specific antibody, labeled with a CaptSure tag. Donor beads are coated with a proprietary CaptSure 3 agent to capture one of the detection antibodies, which is labeled with CaptSure 3 tag. In the presence of phosphorylated protein, the two antibodies bring the Donor and Acceptor beads in close proximity whereby the singlet oxygen transfers energy to excite the Acceptor bead, allowing the generation of a luminescent Alpha signal. The amount of light emission is directly proportional to the quantity of phosphoprotein present in the sample.

 

Phospho-AlphaLISA SureFire Ultra Biotin Free two-plate assay protocol
The two-plate protocol involves culturing and treating the cells in a 96-well plate before lysis, then transferring lysates into a 384-well Optiplate™ plate before the addition of Phospho-AlphaLISA SureFire Ultra Biotin Free detection reagents. This protocol permits the cells viability and confluence to be monitored. In addition, lysates from a single well can be used to measure multiple targets.

Phospho-AlphaLISA SureFire Ultra Biotin Free one-plate assay protocol
Detection of Phosphorylated target protein with AlphaLISA SureFire Ultra Biotin Free reagents can be performed in a single plate used for culturing, treatment, and lysis. No washing steps are required. This HTS designed protocol allows for miniaturization while maintaining robust AlphaLISA SureFire Ultra quality.
