The Retinoblastoma (Phospho-Ser807) Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit is a convenient, lysate-free, high throughput and sensitive assay kit that can detect Retinoblastoma protein phosphorylation and expression profile in cells. The kit can be used for measuring the relative amounts of phosphorylated Retinoblastoma in cultured cells as well as screening for the effects that various treatments, inhibitors (ie. siRNA or chemicals), or activators have on Retinoblastoma phosphorylation.
Qualitative determination of Retinoblastoma (Phospho-Ser807) concentration is achieved by an indirect ELISA format. In essence, Retinoblastoma (Phospho-Ser807) is captured by Retinoblastoma (Phospho-Ser807)-specific primary antibodies while the HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies bind the Fc region of the primary antibody. Through this binding, the HRP enzyme conjugated to the secondary antibody can catalyze a colorimetric reaction upon substrate addition. Due to the qualitative nature of the Cell-Based ELISA, multiple normalization methods are needed:
| 1. | A monoclonal antibody specific for human GAPDH is included to serve as an internal positive control in normalizing the target absorbance values. |
| 2. | Following the colorimetric measurement of HRP activity via substrate addition, the Crystal Violet whole-cell staining method may be used to determine cell density. After staining, the results can be analysed by normalizing the absorbance values to cell amounts, by which the plating difference can be adjusted. |

| UniProt Protein Function: | Rb: retinoblastoma tumor suppressor protein regulates cell proliferation by controlling progression through the G1-phase restriction point. Has three distinct binding domains and interacts with regulatory proteins including the E2F family of transcription factors, c-Abl tyrosine kinase and proteins with a conserved LXCXE motif. Cell cycle-dependent phosphorylation by Cdks inhibits Rb target binding, thus allowing cell cycle progression. Recruits and targets histone methyltransferase suv39h1 leading to epigenetic transcriptional repression. |

| NCBI Summary: | The protein encoded by this gene is a negative regulator of the cell cycle and was the first tumor suppressor gene found. The encoded protein also stabilizes constitutive heterochromatin to maintain the overall chromatin structure. The active, hypophosphorylated form of the protein binds transcription factor E2F1. Defects in this gene are a cause of childhood cancer retinoblastoma (RB), bladder cancer, and osteogenic sarcoma. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] |
