| Description |
The CASE™ Kits for p53 are designed to analyze p53 phosphorylation in cultured human cell lines. These cell-based ELISA kits quantify the amount of activated (phosphorylated) p53 protein relative to total p53 protein. The phosphorylation site is serine 9. By determining p53 protein phosphorylation in your experimental model system, you can verify p53 pathway activation in your cell line and determine the effect of various treatments, inhibitors, or activators on the pathway.

More information on EGFR protein from NCBI:
"Tumor protein p53, a nuclear protein, plays an essential role in the regulation of cell cycle, specifically in the transition from G0 to G1. It is found in very low levels in normal cells; however, in a variety of transformed cell lines, it is expressed in high amounts, and believed to contribute to transformation and malignancy. p53 is a DNA-binding protein containing DNA-binding, oligomerization and transcription activation domains. It is postulated to bind as a tetramer to a p53-binding site and activate expression of downstream genes that inhibit growth and/or invasion, and thus function as a tumor suppressor. Mutants of p53 that frequently occur in a number of different human cancers fail to bind the consensus DNA binding site, and hence cause the loss of tumor suppressor activity. Alterations of the TP53 gene occur not only as somatic mutations in human malignancies, but also as germline mutations in some cancer-prone families with Li-Fraumeni syndrome."

¹ Each antibody stock must be freshly diluted by the
appropriate factor into Antibody Dilution Buffer on the same day of
the experiment. See the CASE™ Kit User Manual for more details.
² 10X Washing Buffer and 10X Antigen Retrieval Buffer must be
diluted to 1X with dH2O before use.
³ Just before use, dissolve powder in 30 ml 1X Washing Buffer by
mixing well. Once dissolved, Blocking Buffer may be stored at 4 ºC
for up to two (2) weeks.
