HSF2 Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA

The HSF2 Colorimetric Cell Based ELISA Kit is a cutting-edge assay designed for the sensitive detection of HSF2 (Heat Shock Factor 2) levels in cell lysates and tissue homogenates. With its high specificity and accuracy, this kit delivers reliable and reproducible results, making it an invaluable tool for researchers studying the role of HSF2 in cellular stress response and protein folding.HSF2 is a key transcription factor that regulates the expression of heat shock proteins in response to stress, playing a critical role in maintaining cellular homeostasis.

Dysregulation of HSF2 has been implicated in various diseases, including cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and cardiovascular conditions, highlighting its importance as a potential therapeutic target.Whether investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying protein misfolding diseases or exploring novel therapeutic strategies for combating cellular stress, the HSF2 Colorimetric Cell Based ELISA Kit provides researchers with a powerful tool for advancing their scientific inquiries.

The HSF2 Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit is a convenient, lysate-free, high throughput and sensitive assay kit that can detect HSF2 protein expression profile in cells. The kit can be used for measuring the relative amounts of HSF2 in cultured cells as well as screening for the effects that various treatments, inhibitors (ie siRNA or chemicals), or activators have on HSF2.

Qualitative determination of HSF2 concentration is achieved by an indirect ELISA format. In essence, HSF2 is captured by HSF2-specific primary antibodies while the HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies bind the Fc region of the primary antibody. Through this binding, the HRP enzyme conjugated to the secondary antibody can catalyze a colorimetric reaction upon substrate addition. Due to the qualitative nature of the Cell-Based ELISA, multiple normalization methods are needed:

1. A monoclonal antibody specific for human GAPDH is included to serve as an internal positive control in normalizing the target absorbance values.
2. Following the colorimetric measurement of HRP activity via substrate addition, the Crystal Violet whole-cell staining method may be used to determine cell density. After staining, the results can be analysed by normalizing the absorbance values to cell amounts, by which the plating difference can be adjusted.
Database Information:Gene ID: 3298, UniProt ID: Q03933, OMIM: 140581, Unigene: Hs.158195
Gene Symbol:HSF2
Sub Type:None
UniProt Protein Function:HSF2: DNA-binding protein that specifically binds heat shock promoter elements (HSE) and activates transcription. In higher eukaryotes, HSF is unable to bind to the HSE unless the cells are heat shocked. Belongs to the HSF family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
UniProt Protein Details:

Protein type:DNA-binding

Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 6q22.31

Cellular Component: cytoplasm; nucleus

Molecular Function:protein homodimerization activity; transcription coactivator activity; transcription factor activity

Biological Process: transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter; positive regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter; spermatogenesis

NCBI Summary:The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the HSF family of transcription factors that bind specifically to the heat-shock promoter element and activate transcription. Heat shock transcription factors activate heat-shock response genes under conditions of heat or other stresses. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2011]

*Note: Protocols are specific to each batch/lot. For the correct instructions please follow the protocol included in your kit.

StepProcedure
1.Seed 200 µL of 20,000 adherent cells in culture medium in each well of a 96-well plate. The plates included in the kit are sterile and treated for cell culture. For suspension cells and loosely attached cells, coat the plates with 100 µL of 10 µg/ml Poly-L-Lysine (not included) to each well of a 96-well plate for 30 minutes at 37°C prior to adding cells.
2.Incubate the cells for overnight at 37°C, 5% CO2.
3.Treat the cells as desired.
4.Remove the cell culture medium and rinse with 200 µL of 1x TBS, twice.
5.Fix the cells by incubating with 100 µL of Fixing Solution for 20 minutes at room temperature. The 4% formaldehyde is used for adherent cells and 8% formaldehyde is used for suspension cells and loosely attached cells.
6.Remove the Fixing Solution and wash the plate 3 times with 200 µL 1x Wash Buffer for five minutes each time with gentle shaking on the orbital shaker. The plate can be stored at 4°C for a week.
7.Add 100 µL of Quenching Buffer and incubate for 20 minutes at room temperature.
8.Wash the plate 3 times with 1x Wash Buffer for 5 minutes each time.
9.Add 200 µL of Blocking Buffer and incubate for 1 hour at room temperature.
10. Wash 3 times with 200 µL of 1x Wash Buffer for 5 minutes each time.
11.Add 50 µL of 1x primary antibodies (Anti-HSF2 Antibody and/or Anti-GAPDH Antibody) to the corresponding wells, cover with Parafilm and incubate for 16 hours (overnight) at 4°C. If the target expression is known to be high, incubate for 2 hours at room temperature.
12.Wash 3 times with 200 µL of 1x Wash Buffer for 5 minutes each time.
13.Add 50 µL of 1x secondary antibodies (HRP-Conjugated AntiRabbit IgG Antibody or HRP-Conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Antibody) to corresponding wells and incubate for 1.5 hours at room temperature.
14.Wash 3 times with 200 µL of 1x Wash Buffer for 5 minutes each time.
15.Add 50 µL of Ready-to-Use Substrate to each well and incubate for 30 minutes at room temperature in the dark.
16.Add 50 µL of Stop Solution to each well and read OD at 450 nm immediately using the microplate reader.

(Additional Crystal Violet staining may be performed if desired – details of this may be found in the kit technical manual.)
