RAW 264.7 two-ligand screen
- Strategy to Monitor Protein Phosphorylation for
the Macrophage Ligand Screen - Cell Preparation and Analysis Lab Expose RAW
264.7 cells to single and paired combinations of
ligands - Goal 23 ligands and their 253 paired
combinations conduct each 3 times on different
days - Experimental design
- Expose cells to 4 single ligands and their 6
possible combinations - 4 time points 1, 3, 10, 30
- Extract cells with SDS-PAGE sample buffer
(supplemented with inhibitors of proteases and
phosphatases) including 3 cultures of untreated
cells 43 samples per experiment - Antibody Lab Assay 21 phosphoproteins by
multiplex Western blotting - Centrifuge cell lysates to remove viscous DNA
- Produce blots with quadruplicate pairs of Bio-Rad
Criterion gel (26-well, 4-20 gradient) - Process each pair of blots with one of 4 mixtures
of site-specific, phosphosensitive antibodies - Create images of blots with Storm 860 imager
- Quantify signal from 21 phosphoproteins with aid
of ImageMaster 1D Elite software - Transmit data to Bioinformatics Lab
- Bioinformatics Lab Process data
- Create time course graphs from phosphoprotein
data - Display graphs on web www.signaling-gateway.org
