Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  In Vitro Kinase Assay
Description:  In vitro kinase assays described below can be used to determine the activity of a test compound for inhibiting the activity of JAK2 kinase. The test compounds were dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide and diluted with water to a serial concentration gradient as required in the experiment. JAK2 substrates (Cell Signaling Technology, Catalog Number: 1305s) and ATP (2 mM) solution were diluted with water to obtain a final concentration of 20 uM ATP and 1.2 uM substrate solution. The appropriate amount of JAK2 kinase (Invitrogen, Catalog Number: pv4210) was mixed with 4x buffer (prepared by user, and comprising 50 mM HEPES, pH 7.3, 125 mM NaCl, 24 mM MgCl2, 1.25 mM DTT) to a final concentration of 8 ng/uL. To each well of a microplate [DELFIA Streptavidin-coated clear plate (Perkin Elmer, Catalog Number: AAAND-0005)]17.5 uL of ATP/substrate mixture, 5 uL of aqueous solution of a test compound (5 uL of pure water only were added to control and blank), and 7.5 uL of the kinase solution prepared above (4x buffer only was added to control) were added. Each well was mixed sufficiently, then incubated at room temperature (27° C.) for 50 minutes, washed with wash buffer, and dried three times, then HRP conjugated antibody [Phospho-Tyrosine Mouse mAb (P-Tyr-100) (HRP Conjugate, Cell signaling Technology, Catalog Number: 5465)] was added, and incubated for 1 hour. The microplate was washed with wash buffer and dried three times, and then TMB (Sigma, Catalog Number: T4444) was added and incubated for 5 to 15 minutes to allow for color change. Stop solution (1 N sulfuric acid solution) was added to stop the reaction. Absorbance was measured on a Novostar microplate reader at a wavelength of 450 nm. IC50 values of test compounds were calculated from the data of the test compounds for inhibiting the activity of JAK2 kinase at different concentrations.
