      Alexa Fluor® 647 Mouse anti-Elk-1 (pS383)
      Alexa Fluor® 647 Mouse anti-Elk-1 (pS383)
      Analysis Elk-1 (pS383) in activated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). PBMC were isolated by density gradient centrifugation (Ficoll-Paque™ PLUS, Cat. No. 17-1440-02), and cultured with 20 µg/ml PHA-P (Sigma-Aldrich, Cat. No. L1668) for 3 days, then either left untreated (open histogram) or treated with PMA at 50 nM/10^6 cells for 15 minutes (shaded histogram; Sigma-Aldrich, Cat. No. P8139). Cells were then fixed in BD Cytofix™ Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 554655) at 37°C for 10 minutes, then permeabilized with BD Phosflow™ Perm Buffer III (Cat. No. 558050) on ice for at least 30 minutes, and then stained with Alexa Fluor® 647 Mouse anti-Elk-1 (pS383). Flow cytometry was performed on a BD FACSCalibur™ flow cytometry system.

      Western blot analysis of Elk-1 (pS383).  The specificity of mAb M21-1721 was confirmed by western blot analysis using unconjugated Mouse anti-Elk-1 (pS383) antibody on lysates from PBMC that were cultured with PHA for 3 days (lane 1) or PBMC that were cultured with PHA for 3 days and then treated with PMA for 15 minutes (lane 2). Elk-1 (pS383) is identified as a band of 62 kDa in the PMA-treated cells.

      M21-1721

      Elk-1 is a 62-kDa member of the Ets oncogene family of transcription factors and a member of the subfamily of ternary complex factors (TCF). Ets proteins mediate a variety of gene activities in response to serum and growth factors. Proteins in the TCF subfamily form a ternary complex by binding to the Serum Response Element (SRE) in conjunction with a dimer of Serum Response Factors (SRF). Elk-1 is phosphorylated by mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase pathways in vivo at a cluster of S/T motifs at its carboxy-terminus. Phosphorylation at these sites, particularly at serine 383 (S383), is critical for Elk-1 transcriptional activation. Studies have shown that Elk-1 is a direct target of activated MAP kinase, and that it is also a target of the stress-activated kinase SAPK/JNK.

      The M21-1721 monoclonal antibody recognizes the phosphorylated S383 of activated Elk-1. The orthologous phosphorylation sites of mouse and rat Elk-1 are S384 and S382, respectively.

      Alexa Fluor™ 647
      Alexa Fluor™ 647 Dye is part of the BD red family of dyes. This is a small organic fluorochrome with an excitation maximum (Ex Max) at 653-nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 669-nm. Alexa Fluor™ 647 is designed to be excited by the Red laser (627-640 nm) and detected using an optical filter centered near 670-nm (e.g., a 660/20 nm bandpass filter). Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
