Overview

The AKT serine/threonine kinase, also known as protein kinase B (PKB), is a crucial component of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. In humans, there are three AKT isoforms (AKT1, AKT2, and AKT3) encoded by separate genes. AKT plays a central role in various cellular processes, including cell survival, proliferation, metabolism, and angiogenesis. Activation of AKT occurs through phosphorylation at two key sites: Thr308 and Ser473. The phosphorylation of Ser473 is particularly important for full activation of AKT and its downstream signaling. AKT signaling is frequently dysregulated in various diseases, especially cancer, where hyperactivation of the pathway contributes to tumor growth, metastasis, and therapy resistance.

The AlphaLISA SureFire Ultra Human Phospho-AKT1/2/3 (Ser473) Detection Kit is a sandwich immunoassay designed for the quantitative detection of phosphorylated AKT (Ser473) in cellular lysates, using Alpha technology

Formats
  • The HV (high volume) kit contains reagents to run 100 wells in 96-well format, using a 60 µL reaction volume.
  • The 500-point kit contains enough reagents to run 500 wells in 384-well format, using a 20 µL reaction volume.
  • The 10,000-point kit contains enough reagents to run 10,000 wells in 384-well format, using a 20 µL reaction volume.
  • The 50,000-point kit contains enough reagents to run 50,000 wells in 384-well format, using a 20 µL reaction volume.

In the AlphaLISA™ SureFire® Ultra™ assay, Donor beads are coated with streptavidin to capture one of the antibodies, which is biotinylated. Acceptor beads are coated with a proprietary CaptSure™ agent that immobilizes the other antibody, labeled with a CaptSure™ tag. In the presence of phosphorylated protein, the two antibodies bring the Donor and Acceptor beads close together, generating signal. The amount of light emission is directly proportional to the amount of phosphoprotein present in the sample.

AlphaLISA SureFire Ultra kits are compatible with
  • Cell and tissue lysates
  • Antibody modulators
  • Biotherapeutic antibodies
Alpha SureFire kits can be used for
  • Cellular kinase assays
  • Receptor activation studies
  • Screening

How it works

Phospho-AlphaLISA SureFire Ultra assay principle

The Phospho-AlphaLISA SureFire Ultra assay measures a protein target when phosphorylated at a specific residue.

The assay uses two antibodies which recognize the phospho epitope and a distal epitope 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 streptavidin to capture one of the detection antibodies, which is biotinylated. In the presence of phosphorylated 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 phosphoprotein present in the sample.

Assay Principle Phospho AlphaLISA SureFire Ultra

 

Phospho-AlphaLISA SureFire Ultra two-plate assay protocol

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 Phospho-AlphaLISA SureFire Ultra 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.

2 Plates Assay Protocol AlphaLISA Surefire Ultra Phospho Assay
Phospho-AlphaLISA SureFire Ultra one-plate assay protocol

Detection of Phosphorylated target protein with AlphaLISA SureFire Ultra 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 AlphaLISA SureFire Ultra quality.

Assay validation

Activation of AKT1/2/3 phospho-(Ser473) in Insulin treated cells

HeLa cells were seeded in a 96-well plate (20,000 cells/well) in complete medium, and incubated overnight at 37°C, 5% CO2. The cells were serum starved for 3 hours and then treated with increasing concentrations of Insulin for 5 minutes.

After treatment, the cells were lysed with 100 µL of Lysis Buffer for 10 minutes at RT with shaking (350 rpm). AKT1/2/3 Phospho (Ser473) and Total levels were evaluated using respective AlphaLISA SureFire Ultra assays. For the detection step, 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, Insulin triggered an increase in levels of Phospho (Ser473) AKT1/2/3 while Total levels remained unchanged.
