Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Enzymatic DELFIA Assay
Description:  Protocol B: To begin the assay, 45 μL of reaction mixture containing 20 mM HEPES pH=7.5, 5 mM MgCl2, 0.0025% Brij-35, 600 μM ATP, 228 μM phosphorylated recombinant human IRAK4 kinase domain (aa 154-460; GenBank ID AF445802) were aliquoted into Ultra-Clear Polypropylene, 96-well, U-Bottom Plates (Corning Life Sciences). 5 μL of test compound from the dose-response plate was added to the reaction mixture and incubated for 15 minutes at room temperature. Then 50 μL of 20 mM HEPES pH=7.5, 5 mM MgCl2, 0.0025% Brij-35, 600 μM ATP, and 400 nM ERM-biotinylated peptide (AGAGRDKYKTLRQIR) were added to start the reaction. The reaction was incubated for 90 minutes at room temperature and stopped by the addition of 25 μL 0.5M EDTA.100 μL of the reaction mixture was transferred to a streptavidin coated detection plate (EvenCoat Streptavidin Coated Plates, 96-Well, R&D Systems) and incubated for 30 minutes at room temperature. The plates were washed 4 times with 100 μL per well of PBS containing 0.05% Tween-20. Plates were then incubated with 50 μL per well of antibody cocktail of Anti-pERM antibody (Cell Signaling Technology) diluted 1:5000, plus Anti-Rabbit IgG EuN1 at 0.242 μg/ml (Perkin-Elmer Life Sciences) in a solution of 10 mM MOPS pH=7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 0.05% Tween-20, 0.02% NaN3, 1% BSA, 0.1% Gelatin for 45 minutes. The plates were washed 4× with 100 μL per well of PBS containing 0.05% Tween-20. Then 100 μL per well of DELFIA Enhancement Solution were added to the plate and then read on an EnVision Model 2103 using a 340 nm excitation wavelength and a 665 nm emission detection.
