Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Methods and reagents are provided for determining the activation state of a signal transduction pathway signaling protein. There exists a need in the art for methods that can monitor the efficacy of a signal transduction inhibitor in a patient. Other needs exist for detecting and monitoring certain disease or disorders that are associated with aberrant activation of a signal transduction pathway signaling protein. The present assay provides a highly sensitive assay that is also useful in patient populations in which obtaining a large cellular sample is difficult, for example, neonates.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of identifying and assessing the efficacy of an inhibitor of ribosomal S6 pathway activation, said method comprising the steps of: a) contacting a population of cells comprising a protein activated by the ribosomal S6 pathway with a first inhibitor, wherein said first inhibitor is a putative inhibitor of extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK) or phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K); b) contacting said population of cells with a second inhibit…
