Preparation And Storage
Recommended Assay Procedures
Bioimaging
1. Seed the cells in appropriate culture medium at ~10,000 cells per well in a BD Falcon™ 96-well Imaging Plate (Cat. No. 353219) and culture overnight.
2. Remove the culture medium from the wells, and fix the cells by adding 100 μl of BD Cytofix™ Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 554655) to each well. Incubate for 10 minutes at room temperature (RT).
3. Remove the fixative from the wells, and permeabilize the cells using either BD Perm Buffer III, 90% methanol, or Triton™ X-100:
a. Add 100 μl of -20°C 90% methanol or Perm Buffer III (Cat. No. 558050) to each well and incubate for 5 minutes at RT.
OR
b. Add 100 μl of 0.1% Triton™ X-100 to each well and incubate for 5 minutes at RT.
4. Remove the permeabilization buffer, and wash the wells twice with 100 μl of 1× PBS.
5. Remove the PBS, and block the cells by adding 100 μl of BD Pharmingen™ Stain Buffer (FBS) (Cat. No. 554656) to each well. Incubate for 30 minutes at RT.
6. Remove the blocking buffer and add 50 μl of the optimally titrated primary antibody (diluted in Stain Buffer) to each well, and incubate for 1 hour at RT.
7. Remove the primary antibody, and wash the wells three times with 100 μl of 1× PBS.
8. Remove the PBS, and add the second step reagent at its optimally titrated concentration in 50 μl to each well, and incubate in the dark for 1 hour at RT.
9. Remove the second step reagent, and wash the wells three times with 100 μl of 1× PBS.
10. Remove the PBS, and counter-stain the nuclei by adding 200 μl per well of 2 μg/ml Hoechst 33342 (e.g., Sigma-Aldrich Cat. No. B2261) in 1× PBS to each well at least 15 minutes before imaging.
11. View and analyze the cells on an appropriate imaging instrument.

Crk was first isolated as the v-crk oncogene from chicken retroviruses CT10 and ASV-1. All human cell lines examined to date express a 40 kDa Crk protein. In addition, there is variable expression of 42 kDa and 28 kDa Crk proteins. The c-crk gene is one of a class of genes, such as Nck and GRB2/ASH, which encode proteins that consist mainly of SH2 and SH3 domains. These proteins function as adaptor molecules in tyrosine kinase signal transduction pathways. The SH2 domains interact with phosphotyrosine-containing peptides, while the SH3 domains can enhance this interaction and/or bind to other cellular components. Both the SH2 and SH3 domains of the human Crk protein are required for differentiation of PC12 cells. Thus, Crk has a role in an NGF-induced signaling pathway that involves activation of p21ras. Furthermore, three proteins of 118 kDa, 125 kDa, and 136 kDa which specifically bind to the Crk SH3 domain have been identified.
