Cell based Assays: Future for next generation cell biology

One of the most common uses for the In-Cell Western (ICW) assay is to study the effect of a particular compound or compounds, such as drugs, on a signaling pathway.

The first stage of this is to have an idea of the pathway and the possible effect or effects that a chosen compound may have on this pathway.

In this example, we are looking at the EGFR signaling pathway. Specifically, we will look at 3 targets, p-EGFR, p-STAT3 and p-ERK and the effect of 2 drugs, PD168393 (OR compound 1) and U0126 (OR compound 2) on these targets. It is possible to use the ICW to determine the effect of these drugs on these targets of choice.
