Muse^® PI3K Activation Dual Detection Kit

The Muse® PI3K Activation Dual Detection kit is part of a series of products that include a pair of antibodies which bind to the same protein; one antibody detects total protein expression and the other detects the phosphorylated form of the same target. Two-parameter analysis allows for specific detection of phosphorylation and eliminates false positives, enhancing the signal-to-noise ratio. The Muse PI3K Activation Dual Detection kit includes two directly conjugated antibodies-a phospho-specific anti-phospho-Akt (Ser473), Alexa Fluor® 555 and an anti-Akt, PECy5 conjugated antibody-to measure total levels of Akt. This two-color kit is designed to measure Akt phosphorylation relative to the total Akt expression in any given cell population. By doing this, the levels of both the total and phosphorylated protein can be measured simultaneously in the same cell, resulting in a normalized and accurate measurement of PI3K activation after stimulation. Moreover, simultaneous measurement of bo
