The AlphaLISA™ SureFire® Biotin-Free Human Total CDK1 assay is a sandwich immunoassay for quantitative detection of total CDK1 in cellular lysates using Alpha Technology.
Cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1) is a serine/threonine kinase critical for cell cycle regulation. It partners with cyclin B to control the G2/M transition, ensuring proper mitotic progression through phosphorylation of key substrates. CDK1 overexpression is common in cancers, such as breast and lung cancers, promoting uncontrolled proliferation. Dysregulated CDK1 activity is also linked to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, where it contributes to neuronal cell death.

The Total-AlphaLISA Surefire Biotin Free assay measures the expression level of a protein target in a cell lysate.
The Total-AlphaLISA Surefire assay uses two antibodies which recognize two different distal epitopes on the targeted protein. AlphaLISA assays require two bead types: Acceptor and Donor beads. Acceptor beads are coated with a proprietary CaptSure™ agent to specifically immobilize the assay specific antibody, labeled with a CaptSure tag. Donor beads are coated with a proprietary CaptSure 3 agent to capture one of the detection antibodies, which is labeled with CaptSure 3 tag. In the presence of targeted protein, the two antibodies bring the Donor and Acceptor beads in close proximity whereby the singlet oxygen transfers energy to excite the Acceptor bead, allowing the generation of a luminescent Alpha signal. The amount of light emission is directly proportional to the quantity of protein present in the sample.
The two-plate protocol involves culturing and treating the cells in a 96-well plate before lysis, then transferring lysates into a 384-well Optiplate™ plate before the addition of Total-AlphaLISA SureFire Biotin Free detection reagents. This protocol permits the cells viability and confluence to be monitored. In addition, lysates from a single well can be used to measure multiple targets.
Detection of Total target protein with AlphaLISA SureFire Biotin Free reagents can be performed in a single plate used for culturing, treatment, and lysis. No washing steps are required. This HTS designed protocol allows for miniaturization while maintaining robust AlphaLISA SureFire quality.
MOLT-4 cells were seeded in a 96-well plate (200,000 cells/well) in complete RPMI 1640 medium and treated with increasing concentrations of Hydroxyurea for 18 hours at 37°C, 5% CO2.
After treatment, the cells were lysed with the addition of 50 µL 5X Lysis Buffer for 10 minutes at RT with shaking (350 rpm). CDK1 Total and Phospho (Thr14) levels were evaluated using respective AlphaLISA SureFire Biotin Free assays. For the detection step, lysates were further diluted 1:4 in Lysis Buffer, 10 µL of cell lysate (approximately 2,000 cells) was transferred into a 384-well white OptiPlate, followed by 5 µL of Acceptor mix and incubated for 1 hour at RT. Finally, 5 µL of Donor mix was then added to each well and incubated for 1 hour at RT in the dark. The plate was read on an Envision using standard AlphaLISA settings.
As expected, Hydroxyurea triggered a dose-dependent increase in the levels of Phospho CDK1 (Thr14) with no significant changes in Total CDK1.
Jurkat cells were seeded in a 96-well plate (200,000 cells/well) in complete RPMI 1640 and treated with increasing concentrations of Nocodazole for 18 hours at 37°C, 5% CO2.
After treatment, the cells were lysed with the addition of 50 µL 5X Lysis Buffer for 10 minutes at RT with shaking (350 rpm). CDK1 Phospho (Thr14) and CDK1 Total levels were evaluated using respective AlphaLISA SureFire Biotin Free assays. For the detection step, lysates were further diluted 1:4 in Lysis Buffer, 10 µL of cell lysate (approximately 2,000 cells) was transferred into a 384-well white OptiPlate, followed by 5 µL of Acceptor mix and incubated for 1 hour at RT. Finally, 5 µL of Donor mix was then added to each well and incubated for 1 hour at RT in the dark. The plate was read on an Envision using standard AlphaLISA settings.
Nocodazole triggered a significant decrease in the levels of Phospho CDK1 (Thr14) with a modest decrease in Total CDK1 levels in Jurkat cells.
