ABSTRACT:
A method and kit for simultaneous detection and/or determination of a plurality of modified proteins in a sample. The method comprises: a) contacting the sample under mild protein denaturation conditions with a plurality of first antibodies capable of binding to a specific target protein, the first antibodies being immobilized on solid support material, each first antibody being differentiable from others by a differentiation parameter, whereby the first antibodies bind to respective target proteins present in the sample; b) removing unbound materials from the locus of the first antibodies; c) contacting the materials from step (b) with one or more second antibodies, each of which is specific to a class or subclass of modified proteins or with a plurality of second antibodies, each of which is specific to a modified protein, so as to bind the second antibody or antibodies to modified proteins in the sample; and d) detecting and/or determining a plurality of modified proteins in the sample. The kit comprises a plurality of primary antibodies immobilized on solid support material, one or more buffers for lysing and for washing cellular material samples to be assayed, an assay buffer for conducting the assay, the buffer containing a sulfate or sulfonate detergent, and one or more second antibodies specific to the modified proteins.
