Our broad portfolio consists of multiplex panels that allow you to choose, within the panel, analytes that best meet your needs. On a separate tab you can choose the premixed cytokine format or a single plex kit.
Cell Signaling Kits & MAPmates™
Choose fixed kits that allow you to explore entire pathways or processes. Or design your own kits by choosing single plex MAPmates™, following the provided guidelines.
The following MAPmates™ should not be plexed together: -MAPmates™ that require a different assay buffer -Phospho-specific and total MAPmate™ pairs, e.g. total GSK3β and GSK3β (Ser 9) -PanTyr and site-specific MAPmates™, e.g. Phospho-EGF Receptor and phospho-STAT1 (Tyr701) -More than 1 phospho-MAPmate™ for a single target (Akt, STAT3) -GAPDH and β-Tubulin cannot be plexed with kits or MAPmates™ containing panTyr

Although many estrogen receptor-positive breast cancers initially respond to antihormones, responses are commonly incomplete with resistance ultimately emerging. Delineation of signaling mechanisms underlying these phenomena would allow development of therapies to improve antihormone response and compromise resistance. This in vitro investigation in MCF-7 breast cancer cells examines whether epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling limits antiproliferative and proapoptotic activity of antihormones and ultimately supports development of resistance. It addresses whether the anti-EGFR agent gefitinib (ZD1839/Iressa; TKI: 1 mum) combined with the antihormones 4-hydroxytamoxifen (TAM: 0.1 mum) or fulvestrant (Faslodex; 0.1 mum) enhances growth inhibition and prevents resistance. TAM significantly suppressed MCF-7 growth over wk 2-5, reducing proliferation detected by immunocytochemistry and fluorescence-activated cell sorter cell cycle analysis. A modest apoptotic increase was observed by fluorescence-activated cell sorter and fluorescence microscopy, with incomplete bcl-2 suppression. EGFR induction occurred during TAM response, as measured by immunocytochemistry and Western blotting, with EGFR-positive, highly proliferative resistant growth subsequently emerging. Although TKI alone was ineffective on growth, TAM plus TKI cotreatment exhibited superior antigrowth activity vs. TAM, with no viable cells by wk 12. Cotreatment was more effective in inhibiting proliferation, promoting apoptosis, and eliminating bcl-2. Cotreatment blocked EGFR induction, markedly depleted ERK1/2 MAPK and protein kinase B phosphorylation, and prevented emergence of EGFR-positive resistance. Faslodex plus TKI cotreatment was also a superior antitumor strategy. Thus, increased EGFR evolves during treatment with antihormones, limiting their efficacy and promoting resistance. Gefitinib addition to antihormonal therapy could prove more effective in treating estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer and may combat development of resistance.
