Description

Can Get Signal® is a solution containing an accelerator for antigen-antibody reactions. This reagent improves sensitivity, specificity, and signal-to-noise ration (S/N) for Western blotting, dot blotting, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), etc. Solutions 1 and 2 refer to the reactions of the primary and secondary antibodies, respectively.

Features

  • Enhances immunoassay signals up to several dozen times by maintaining low background signals.
  • Can be used in combination with secondary antibodies labeled with peroxidase or alkaline phosphatase, etc.
  • Can be used directly without dilution (ready-to-use).

Applications

  • Western blotting, dot blotting
  • Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA),

Application data

Experiment 1. Detection of phosphorylated proteins by Western blotting

Phosphorylated Akt and ERK were detected by Western blotting analysis using Can Get Signal® and a conventional method (TBS-T). As a result, the signal intensities of the target bands obtained with Can Get Signal® were greater than those of the conventional method. The background level of the experiment with Can Get Signal® was also significantly lower than that of the conventional method. The results suggest that Can Get Signal® improves the sensitivity and specificity of Western blotting analysis.

Experiment 2. Detection of His-tagged proteins by Western blotting

His-tagged recombinant proteins were detected with Can Get Signal® and a conventional method (TBS-T). Can Get Signal® showed excellent greater sensitivity than the conventional method.

Antibodies:

Primary antibody:Anti his-tag rabbit polyclonal antibody (1:2,000 dilutioin)

Secondary antibody:Anti rabbit-IgG-HRP antibody (1:20,000 dilution)

Experiment 3. Detection of His-tagged proteins by ELISA

Sandwich ELISA (solid phase antibody: anti-ERK2 monoclonal antibody, primary antibody: anti-His tag polyclonal antibody, secondary antibody: anti-rabbit IgG-HRP antibody) was performed to detect his-tagged human MAP kinase (His-ERK2) synthesized by a cell-free protein synthesis system. Can Get Signal® showed an excellent quantitative curve as a function of antigen concentration whereas the conventional method with TBS-T resulted in low signals.
