:: InstaCellTM - Cell-based Proliferation Assays


Frozen cells INSTANTLY available for assay!

InstaCell Proliferation Assays allow fast and reliable screening of drugs for their cytostatic or anti-cancer effects.  Well-characterized human tumor cells are frozen in 96 well plates providing ready-to-use and consistent cell cultures instantly available for assay. No washing, pre-cultivation or expansion steps are necessary. Kits include four 96-well plates of cells, a fluorogenic or chromogenic detection reagent, culture media, and a positive control that blocks proliferation.

Cell lines: MCF-7, SK-MEL, A549, HCT-116, HepG2, K562, BT-549.
Detection methods: Resazurin, Sulforhodamine B or XTT.

:: Ubiquitin-like (Ubl) Proteins


NEDD8 (human, recombinant, His-tagged)
UW9225 
NEDD8 is a ubiquitin-like molecule (sharing ~60% identity with ubiquitin at the amino acid level) that can be covalently conjugated (NEDDylation) to a limited number of cellular proteins in a fashion similar to that of ubiquitin. 

ISG15 (human, recombinant, His-tagged) UW9235
Cellular protein conjugates of ISG15 have been identified. ISGylation may play important roles in viral or bacterial infection where protein ISGylation is highly induced.
FAT10 (human, recombinant, His-tagged) UW9240
FAT10 is a ubiquitin-like protein that is encoded in the major histocompatibility complex class I locus. Wild type FAT10 has been demonstrated to be covalently conjugated to target proteins.

:: Acetylation / Deactylation


Anti-alpha-Tubulin (K(Ac)40)
  SA-452 
Acetylation of alpha-tubulin Lys40 has been shown to play a regulatory role in cell motility and possibly in dynein-mediated transport of misfolded proteins and aggresome function.  
Anti-SIRT3 SA-463 
Caloric restriction elevates SIRT3 expression in mouse adipose tissue and the absence of a SIRT3 allele lacking an enhancer element in long-lived men suggests a possible connection between SIRT3 expression and longevity. 
Western blot analysis of Jurkat cell lysate probed with Anti-SIRT3. P and M indicate the precursor (44 kDa) and mature (30 kDa) forms.

Anti-SIRT5 SA-464
SIRT5 is the only human class III sirtuin and as such is the closest homolog to bacterial (e.g. E. coli CobB) and archaeal sirtuins. Antibody shows no cross-reactivity with other sirtuins tested (SIRTs 1, 2 and 3). 

Western blot analysis of PC12 cell lysate probed with Anti-SIRT5. Arrow indicates position of mature SIRT5 at 29 kDa

:: Proteases


Anti-Kallikrein-1
  SA-447 
Anti-Kallikrein-2
  SA-448
Anti-Kallikrein-3 (PSA) SA-449
The kallikreins are a large family of secreted serine proteases with numerous functions and involved in many diseases.  Antibodies recognize the corresponding human kallikreins, whose size can vary greatly due to differential splicing, post-translational modification, proteolytic cleavage, and covalent binding to endogenous inhibitors such as protein C inhibitor.

Tryptase, betaII (human, recombinant)  SE-418
Useful tool for studying enzyme kinetics, target substrate cleavage and inhibitor screening. This preparation does not contain heparin, which can alter assay outcomes or interfere with inhibitors.
ADAM12, Catalytic Domain (human, recombinant)  SE-368
ADAM12 catalytic domain (residues 179-388) from human cDNA, expressed in E.coli. Applications: study of enzyme kinetics, cleave target substrates, and screen for inhibitors.
