nNOS (Phospho-Ser852)Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit

The Human nNOS (Phospho-Ser852) Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit is specifically designed for the accurate detection of phosphorylated nNOS levels in cell lysates and tissue homogenates. This kit offers high sensitivity and specificity, allowing for reliable and reproducible results, making it ideal for studying the role of nNOS in various biological processes.nNOS, or neuronal nitric oxide synthase, is a key enzyme involved in the production of nitric oxide, a signaling molecule that plays a crucial role in various physiological processes such as neurotransmission, vasodilation, and immune response.

Phosphorylation of nNOS at Ser852 has been linked to its activity and regulation, making it a valuable marker for understanding the pathophysiology of diseases such as neurodegenerative disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and inflammation.With this advanced ELISA kit, researchers can accurately measure the levels of phosphorylated nNOS in biological samples, allowing for a better understanding of its role in health and disease. This kit is a valuable tool for studying signaling pathways, drug development, and potential therapeutic interventions targeting nNOS.

The nNOS (Phospho-Ser852) Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit is a convenient, lysate-free, high throughput and sensitive assay kit that can detect nNOS protein phosphorylation and expression profile in cells. The kit can be used for measuring the relative amounts of phosphorylated nNOS in cultured cells as well as screening for the effects that various treatments, inhibitors (ie. siRNA or chemicals), or activators have on nNOS phosphorylation.

Qualitative determination of nNOS (Phospho-Ser852) concentration is achieved by an indirect ELISA format. In essence, nNOS (Phospho-Ser852) is captured by nNOS (Phospho-Ser852)-specific primary (1ø) antibodies while the HRP-conjugated secondary (2ø) antibodies bind the Fc region of the 1ø antibody. Through this binding, the HRP enzyme conjugated to the 2ø 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.

NCBI Summary:The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the family of nitric oxide synthases, which synthesize nitric oxide from L-arginine. Nitric oxide is a reactive free radical, which acts as a biologic mediator in several processes, including neurotransmission, and antimicrobial and antitumoral activities. In the brain and peripheral nervous system, nitric oxide displays many properties of a neurotransmitter, and has been implicated in neurotoxicity associated with stroke and neurodegenerative diseases, neural regulation of smooth muscle, including peristalsis, and penile erection. This protein is ubiquitously expressed, with high level of expression in skeletal muscle. Multiple transcript variants that differ in the 5' UTR have been described for this gene but the full-length nature of these transcripts is not known. Additionally, alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms (some testis-specific) have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]

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.
