Western Blotting Analysis: A 1:500 dilution from a representative lot detected Phosphotyrosine in 10 µg of EGF treated A431 with Lambda Phosphatase tissue lysate.
Immunoprecipitation Analysis: 5 µL from a representative lot immunoprecipitated Phosphotyrosine in 0.5 mg of EGF treated A431 cell lysate

The immunoreactivity of the antibody is totally inhibited by the use of 100 mM phenyl phosphate, a phosphotyrosine analog. The phosphotyrosine antibody is purified by immunoaffinity chromatography using either a dual phospho-peptide gel or a BSA-phosphotyrosine gel. All of the phosphotyrosine immunoreactivity present in the antisera is immunoadsorbed whether the antibody is purified by either gel indicating that the antibody is not sequence-specific but specific for phosphotyrosine residues.

The phosphorylation of specific tyrosine residues has been shown to be a primary mechanism of signal transduction during normal mitogenesis, cell cycle progression and oncogenic transformation, its role in other areas such as differentiation and gap junction communication, is a matter of active and ongoing research. Antibodies that specifically recognize phosphorylated tyrosine residues have proved to be invaluable to the study of tyrosine phosphorylated proteins and the biochemical pathways in which they function.

Varies

In order to produce broad spectrum polyclonal phosphotyrosine antibodies, rabbits were immunized with three phosphorylated immunogens: (1) phosphotyrosine covalently linked to KLH; (2) the c-Src carboxyl terminal regulatory phosphopeptide (TS-T-E-P-Q-pY-Q-P-G-E-N-L; Catalog # 12-218) covalently linked to KLH, and; (3) a phosphopeptide associated with high tyrosine kinase activity in human lymphocytes (R-R-L-I-E-D-A-E-pY-A-A-R-G; Catalog # 12-217) covalently linked to KLH. Both of the phosphopeptide haptens serve as strong substrates for tyrosine phosphatases and are part of the two colorimetric tyrosine phosphatase kits provided by Upstate, Inc. (Catalog # 17-125, 17-126).
