The AlphaLISA® SureFire® Ultra™ total MKK4 assay is a sandwich immunoassay for quantitative detection of MKK4 (phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated) in cellular lysates using Alpha Technology. This assay is intended to be a normalization or control assay in conjunction with the AlphaLISA SureFire phospho-MKK4 assay.

Formats:
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 target 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 protein 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.
