Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  AlphaScreen Assay
Description:  In AlphaScreen, when the donor and acceptor beads are close in proximity, a series of photochemical events will give rise to a fluorescent signal upon light activation. Here we use biotinylated poly-(Glu, Tyr) 4:1 as the kinase substrate, streptavidin-coated donor beads and anti-phosphortyrosine antibody PY100-coated acceptor beads. Upon phosphorylation, the peptide substrate can bind to both donor and acceptor beads, thus gives rise to fluorescence. Compounds, ATP, biotinylated poly-(Glu, Tyr) and kinases are mixed in a volume of 20 μL for 1 hr at ambient temperature using Greiner 384-well white clear bottom medium binding plates. Then 10 uL solution containing 15-30 mg/mL AlphaScreen beads, 75 mM Hepes, pH 7.4, 300 mM NaCl, 120 mM EDTA, 0.3% BSA and 0.03% Tween-20 is added to each well. After 2-16 hr incubation of the beads, plates are read in a Perkin Elmer AlphaQuest reader (available from PerkinElmer Life and Analytical Sciences, Inc., of Boston Mass.).
