In the AlphaLISA® SureFire® Ultra™ assay, Donor beads are coated with streptavidin to capture one of the antibodies, which is biotinylated. Acceptor beads are coated with a proprietary CaptSure™ agent that immobilizes the other antibody, labeled with a CaptSure™ tag. In the presence of phosphorylated protein, the two antibodies bring the Donor and Acceptor beads close together, generating signal. The amount of light emission is directly proportional to the amount of phosphoprotein present in the sample.

The introduction of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) in the early 1970’s offered researchers a non-radiometric immunoassay platform without compromising sensitivity. Over the last 50 years scientists have made huge strides in disease research and drug discovery and a demand for greater assay throughput and sensitivity has evolved. In response, more robust immunoassays have been developed to address some of the limitations of the standard, colorimetric ELISA.
Find out about the most common limitations of traditional ELISAs and how different ELISA alternative technologies address these limitations.
A variety of chemotherapeutic drugs with different modes of action have been developed and tested as potential therapies for colorectal cancer. Characterizing the effects of potential drugs with different modes of action is a key part of the process.

In this application note, we demonstrate an efficient cell-based workflow for the assessment of EGF treatment effects in a cellular model of human skin cancer.
Treatment effects on several intracellular signaling pathways were examined using PerkinElmer’s homogeneous, no-wash AlphaLISA® SureFire® Ultra assays. To determine concurrent time-dependent effects of different EGF concentrations on cellular health and proliferation, ATP concentrations were assessed with ATPlite™ 1step luminescence assay and cultures were fluorescently labeled, imaged and analyzed using the Operetta CLS™ high-content analysis system.
