Phospho-IKKß (Ser177/181) assay principle

The phospho-IKK-beta (Ser177/181) assay measures IKK beta when phosphorylated at Ser177/181. Contrary to Western Blot, the assay is entirely plate-based and does not require gels, electrophoresis or transfer. The phospho-IKK-beta (Ser177/181) assay uses 2 labeled antibodies: one with a donor fluorophore, the other one with an acceptor. The first antibody is selected for its specific binding to the phosphorylated motif on the protein, the second for its ability to recognize the protein independent of its phosphorylation state. Protein phosphorylation enables an immune-complex formation involving both labeled antibodies and which brings the donor fluorophore into close proximity to the acceptor, thereby generating a FRET signal. Its intensity is directly proportional to the concentration of phosphorylated protein present in the sample, and provides a means of assessing the protein’s phosphorylation state under a no-wash assay format.

Phospho-IKKß (Ser177/181) 2-plate assay protocol

The 2 plate protocol involves culturing cells in a 96-well plate before lysis then transferring lysates to a 384-well low volume detection plate before adding Phospho-IKK beta (Ser177/181) HTRF detection reagents. This protocol enables the cells' viability and confluence to be monitored.

Phospho-IKKß (Ser177/181) 1-plate assay protocol

Detection of Phosphorylated IKK-beta (Ser177/181) with HTRF reagents can be performed in a single plate used for culturing, stimulation and lysis. No washing steps are required. This HTS designed protocol enables miniaturization while maintaining robust HTRF quality.

HTRF phospho-IKKß assay compared to Western Blot

HeLa cells were grown in a T175 flask 37°C, 5% Co2, 2 days. Stimulation was done with IL1b 0.5nM for 15min. After elimination of cell culture medium, 3 mL of supplemented lysis buffer was added and incubated for 45min. Soluble supernatants were collected after 10min centrifuging. Equal amounts of lysates were used for a side by side comparison of WB and HTRF. HTRF assay shows better sensitivity than Western Blot: 12,000 cells for HTRF compared to 46,000 cells for Western Blot.

TNFa dose-response on HeLa cells

Two concentrations of HeLa cells (100 and 200K cells/well) were incubated for 15 minutes at 37°C with various concentrations of TNF alpha. After a 30 minutes lysis incubation time, phosphorylated IKK-beta was measured using the two-plate assay protocol.

IL1ß dose-response on HeLa cells

Two concentrations of HeLa cells (100 and 200K cells/well) were incubated for 15 minutes at 37°C with various concentrations of IL1 beta. After a 30 minutes lysis incubation time, phosphorylated IKK-beta was measured using the two-plate assay protocol.

Detection of phospho and total IKK-beta on HeLa cells

Different cell densities (200K and 100K) of HeLa cells were plated under 100µL in 96-well plate and incubated overnight. Media was aspirated and 50µL of different concentrations of IL-1beta was added during 15 minutes. After incubation, media was aspirated and cells were lysed with 50µL of lysis buffer 1X for 30 min at RT under gentle shaking. 16 µL of lysate were transferred into a 384-well sv white microplate and 4 µL of the HTRF phospho IKKbeta (Ser177/181) or total IKKbeta detection reagents were added. The HTRF signal was recorded after a 2 hour incubation at room temperature.

IKKß Simplified Pathway

Activation of the NF-?B is initiated by the signal-induced degradation of I?B proteins. This occurs primarily via activation of a kinase called the I?B kinase (IKK). IKK is composed of a heterotrimer of 3 subunits, IKK-alpha and IKK-beta (the two catalytic subunits) and IKK-gamma/NEMO (a regulatory component). Activated IKK-beta phosphorylates a protein called the inhibitor of NF-?B, I?B (I?Ba), which binds NF-?B to inhibit its function. Phosphorylated I?B is degraded via the ubiquitination pathway, freeing NF-?B and allowing its entry into the nucleus of the cell, where it activates various genes involved in inflammation and other immune responses. IKK-beta plays a significant role in brain cells following a stroke.
