Kinase Assay
[1]
|
Assay of MEK Kinase Activity |
Anti-MEK1 antibody is used to immunoprecipitate MEK1 molecules. MEK kinase activity is measured as the ability of immuno-isolated MEK1 to activate recombinant ERK1 in a coupled assay using MBP as the end point of the assay. Phosphorylated MBP is resolved on a 14% SDS-PAGE gel and vacuum-dried before exposure to X-ray film. |
Cell Assay
[1]
|
Cell Lines |
Primary HCC cell lines including 2-1318, 4-1318 and 26-1004 cells |
Concentrations |
~ 10 μM |
Incubation Time |
24 or 48 hours |
Methods |
Cells are seeded at a density of 2.0 × 104. After 48 hours incubation, the cells are rinsed twice with culture media. Cells are treated with various concentrations of AZD6244 for 24 or 48 hours. Cell viability is determined by the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2y1)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Cell proliferation is assayed using a bromodeoxyuridine kit. |
Animal Study
[1]
|
Animal Models |
HCC xenografts in mice homozygous for the SCID (severe combined immunodeficiency) mutation |
Formulation |
In water |
Doses |
50 or 100mg/kg |
Administration |
Administered via p.o. |
