BACKGROUND Abcam’s mTOR (Total & pSer2448) In-Cell ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) kit is designed to measure levels of mTOR total protein and phosphorylated at Serine 2448 in cultured cells. Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a serine/threonine protein kinase part of two distinct signaling complexes, mTORC1 and mTORC2. These two complexes share four proteins (mTOR, mLST8, DEPTOR, Tti1/tel2), with only mTORC1 containing Raptor and PRAS40 and mTORC2 containing Rictor, mSin1 and Protor1/2. The complex mTORC1 (rapamycin sensitive complex) coordinates inputs from growth factors, stress, energy status, oxygen and amino acids levels to control processes such as protein and lipid synthesis and autophagy. The complex mTORC2 is insensitive to nutrients and rapamycin, but it responds to insulin signaling. It also controls ion transport and cell shape by targeting serum/glucocorticoid protein kinase (SGK1) and protein kinase (PKC-α) respectively. The canonical regulation of mTORC1 occurs through the TSC/Rheb pathway which receives signals from AKT, AMPK and IKKβ to activate the complex. Phosphorylation of mTOR at Ser2448 is carried out directly by AKT kinase as well as p70S6 kinase acting as a feedback signal. Phosphorylation at this site is a biomarker for the activation state of the PI-3 kinase pathway as well as the activation status of mTOR. Activation of mTOR leads to phosphorylation of PRAS40, raptor and DEPTOR and the consequential activation of mTORC1.Deregulated signaling of mTOR has been implicated in diseases such as cancer, metabolic syndrome, neurodegeneration and aging. Constitutive activation of PI3K-mTORC1 signaling in cancer cells inhibits autophagy and deregulates protein synthesis via 4EBP1/eIF4E and increases de novo lipid synthesis via SREBP1. Similarly mTOR signaling is a key factor in the regulation of tissue metabolism in the normal and nutrient overload state affecting the hypothalamus, adipose tissue, the liver, skeletal muscle and pancreas.

SAMPLE PREPARATION General Sample information: ● The protocol below is described for a 96-well plate. If performing assay on a 384-well plate, adjust volumes accordingly. 10.1 Preparation of adherent cells 10.1.1 Seed adherent cells directly into an amine coated plate and allow them to attach for >6 hours or overnight. It is advised to seed in a 100 µL volume of the same media used to maintain the cells in bulk culture. The optimal cell seeding density is cell type dependent. The goal is to seed cells such that they are just reaching confluency (but not over-confluent) at the time of fixation. As an example, HeLa cells may be seeded at ~ 100,000 cells per well and cultured overnight for fixation the following day. 10.1.2 The attached cells can be treated if desired with a drug of interest. 10.1.3 Fix cells by adding a final concentration of 4% Paraformaldehyde Solution. This can be achieved by one of two means: (1) Add an equal volume of 8% Paraformaldehyde Solution to the culture volume (e.g. add 100 µL 8% Paraformaldehyde to a well with 100 µL media) or (2) gently remove culture media from the wells and replace with 100 µL 4% Paraformaldehyde Solution. 10.1.4 Incubate for 10-20 minutes at room temperature. 10.1.5 Gently remove the Paraformaldehyde Solution from the plate and wash the plate three times briefly with 1X PBS. For each wash, rinse each well of the plate with 200 µL of 1X PBS. Finally, add 100 µL of 1X PBS to the wells of the plate. The plate can now be stored at 4°C for several days. Cover the plate with a lid or seal while stored. For prolonged storage supplement PBS with 0.02% sodium azide. Discover more at www.abcam.com 9 ASSAY PREPARATION 10.2 Preparation of suspension cells 10.2.1 To ensure efficient cross-linking of the suspension cells to the amine plate, cells must be grown and treated in a different plate or dish of choice. The cell seeding density of the amine plate is cell typedependent. As an example, HL-60 and Jurkat cells should be seeded, respectively, at 300,000 and 200,000 cells per well in 100 µLof media. 10.2.2 When treatment is completed, transfer treated suspension cells to the amine plate. 10.2.3 Centrifuge the microtiter plate at 500 x g for 5-10 minutes. 10.2.4 Fix cells by adding a final concentration of 4% Paraformaldehyde Solution. This can be achieved by overlaying an equal volume of 8% Paraformaldehyde Solution to the culture volume (e.g. add 100 µL 8% Paraformaldehyde to a well with 100 µL media). 10.2.5 Centrifuge the microtiter plate again at 500 x g for 5-10 minutes. 10.2.6 Continue in the fixation for a total of 15 - 20 minutes. Note – Both paraformaldehyde and sodium azide are toxic, handle with care and dispose of according to local regulations. Discover more at www.abcam.com 10 ASSAY PROCEDURE 11. ASSAY PROCEDURE ● It is recommended to use a plate shaker (~200 rpm) during all incubation steps. Any step involving removal of buffer or solution should be followed by blotting the plate gently upside down on a paper towel before refilling wells. Unless otherwise noted, incubate at room temperature. ● It is recommended to assay all and samples in duplicate. 11.1 Remove 1X PBS and add 200 µL of pre-heated Antigen Retrieval Buffer (see 9.4) to each well of the plate. Incubate for 15 minutes at 80⁰C. 11.2 Remove the Antigen Retrieval Buffer and wash the plate three times briefly with 1X PBS. For each wash, rinse each well of the plate with 200 µL. 11.3 Remove 1X PBS and add 200 µL of 1X Permeabilization & Blocking Solution to each well of the plate. Incubate for 2 hours at room temperature. 11.4 Remove Permeabilization/Blocking Solution and add 100 µL 1X Primary Antibody Cocktail Solution to each well of the plate. Incubate for 2 hours at room temperature or overnight at 4°C. Note – To determine the background signal it is essential to omit primary antibody from at least one well containing cells for each experimental condition. 11.5 Remove Primary Antibody Cocktail Solution and wash the plate three times briefly with 1X Wash Buffer. For each wash, rinse each well of the plate with 200 µL of 1X Wash Buffer. Do not remove the last wash until step 11.8. 11.6 Remove 1X Wash Buffer and add 100 µL 1X Secondary Antibody Solution to each well of the plate. Incubate 2 hours at room temperature in the dark. 11.7 Remove 1X Secondary Antibody Cocktail Solution and wash five times briefly with 1X Wash Buffer. For each Discover more at www.abcam.com 11 ASSAY PROCEDURE wash, rinse each well of the plate with 200 µL of 1X Wash Buffer. Do not remove the last wash. 11.8 Wipe the bottom of the plate and the scanner surface with a damp lint-free cloth to clean before scanning the plate on the LI-COR® Odyssey® system. Collect data in the 700 and 800 channels according to manufacturer’s instructions. The optimal focus off-set for typical amine plates is 3.9. The Total mTOR protein signal corresponds to the 800 channel (IRDye800®) and the mTOR (pSer2448) protein signal corresponds to the 700 channel (IRDye680®). Note – The absolute value of the IR signal is dependent on the intensity settings. Value of 6.5 for the 700 and 800 channels is recommended for initial scanning. Adjust as needed so that the signal is not saturated in any well. 11.9 Remove the last wash and add 100 µL of Janus Green Stain to each well of the plate. Incubate plate for 10 minutes at room temperature. Note – The IR signal should be normalized to the Janus Green staining intensity to account for differences in cell seeding density. 11.10 Remove the dye and wash the plate five times in deionized water or until excess dye is removed. 11.11 Remove last water wash, blot to dry, add 100 µL of 0.5 M HCl to each well of the plate and incubate for 10 minutes in a plate shaker. 11.12 Measure OD595 nm using a standard microplate spectrophotometer or measure a signal in the 800 nm channel using a LI-COR® Odyssey® scanner.

CALCULATIONS 12.1 Background Subtraction Determine the raw signal intensity (Integrated Intensity) values for the IR700 and IR800 channels for the wells that lacked primary antibody. Subtract the mean background values from all other IR700 or IR800 experimental values respectively. 12.2 Janus Green normalization Divide the background subtracted IR intensities (from 12.1) by the Janus Green value of the corresponding well. The result is the “normalized intensity”. 12.3 Normalization of Phospho signal to total protein. Divide the pSer2448 mTOR normalized intensity by the total mTOR normalized intensity.

TYPICAL SAMPLE VALUES PRECISION – The coefficient of the intra-assay variation for this assay kit on HeLa cells is typically 5.71% for total and 3.32% for pSer2448. The assay was also found to be highly robust with a mean Z factor from multiple cell densities of 0.508 for mTOR (25k – 100k/well) and 0.800 for mTOR pSer2448 (25 – 100k/well). 15. SPECIES REACTIVITY This kit detects mTOR total protein and pSer2448 in human and mouse samples. Cross reactivity to mouse samples was determined with the mouse cell line NIH3T3 treated with 50 ng/mL of PDGF A/B recombinant protein for 30 minutes after overnight serum starvation. Figure 2 shows performance of this kit on NIH3T3 PDGF treated against BSA control Figure 2. Mouse Reactivity of mTOR total and pSer2448 ICE assay. Levels of total mTOR and phosphorylated protein at Ser2448 were measured in serum-starved NIH3T3 cells that were treated with PDGF recombinant protein at 50 ng/mL in 1% BSA. The relative levels of Total mTOR (left) and mTOR pSer2448 (middle) are shown after background subtraction. Specific phosphorylation was calculated by determining the ratio of pSer2448 to Total mTOR levels after normalization (right). Discover more at www.abcam.com 15 DATA ANALYSIS 16. ASSAY SPECIFICITY Confidence in antibody specificity is critical to In-Cell ELISA data interpretation; therefore the primary antibodies in this kit were validated by In-Cell ELISA and Immunocytochemistry with the use of lambda phosphatase and by Western blot with the presence of signal at the correct band size. mTOR pSer2448 was phosphorylated with calyculin A treatment, followed by an artificial dephosphorylation with the use of lambda phosphatase (LPP) on the ICE and ICC platform after fixation and permeabilization and on western blot after cell lysis with a non-ionic detergent but before the addition of SDS-PAGE buffer. Figure 3. Specificity of Signal by In-Cell Elisa. Levels of total mTOR and phosphorylated protein at Ser2448 were measured in DMSO and calyculin A treated cells. Serum-starved HeLa cells were seeded on amine coated plates within the working range of the assay and treated with 10 nM calyculin A or DMSO control in serum free media for 15 minutes the day of fixation. Specificity of phosphorylation was determined by treating calyculin A-treated HeLa cells with LPP for 45 minutes at 40⁰C immediately after permeabilization. The relative levels of Total mTOR (Left) and mTOR pSer2448 (Middle) are shown after background subtraction. Specific Phosphorylation was calculated by determining the ratio of pSer2448 to Total mTOR levels after normalization (Right). Discover more at www.abcam.com 16 DATA ANALYSIS Figure 4. Specificity of Signal by Immunocytochemistry. HeLa cells were seeded on glass coverslips and allowed to adhere overnight. After adhesion, cells were treated with DMSO or calyculin A for 15 minutes and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde. The levels of mTOR total and mTOR pSer2448 were measured following the protocol as described above until step 11.5. The mouse mTOR total protein was labeled with goat anti-mouse-488 whereas the rabbit mTORpSer2448 was labeled with goat anti-rabbit-594. mTOR total and mTOR pSer2448 show specific co-localization in the cytoplasm. The cytoplasmic signal for the pSer2448 target is low on serum starved HeLa cells treated with DMSO only (A), whereas it is significantly induced with the use of 10 nM calyculin A (B). The pSer2448 specific signal is completely removed when calyculin A-treated HeLa cells are treated with LPP (C). Discover more at www.abcam.com 17 DATA ANALYSIS Figure 5. Verification of antibodies by Western Blot. Calyculin A-treated HeLa Lysates were treated with λ Ppase (LPP) 34˚C or left untreated on ice. Samples were then diluted in SDS-PAGE buffer and loaded at 40 µg/well. Membranes were blocked with 20% Blocking Buffer ab126587 in TBST for 1 hour and incubated with either the antibody mTOR pSer2448 or the antibody against total mTOR in 10% Blocking Buffer in TBST overnight. Labeling was carried out with secondary antibodies conjugated to HRP. Treatment with calyculin A in HeLa cells induces phosphorylation at Ser2448 and λ Ppase completely dephosphorylates mTOR.

The cell seeding density varies by cell type and depends both on the cell size and the abundance of the target protein. The cell seeding will likely need to be determined experimentally by microscopic cell density observation of serially diluted cells. For adherent cells, prepare a serial dilution of the cells in a plate and allow them to attach prior to observation. The goal is to have cells that are just confluent at the time of fixation. Overly confluent cells may have compromised viability and tend to not adhere as well to the plate. Under-seeded cells may yield too low a signal, depending on the analyte. Keep in mind that drug treatments or culture conditions may affect cell density/growth. Do I have to use an amine-coated microplate? We have tested black wall amine and cell culture treated microplates and found that amine coated plates improve reproducibility and specificity in comparison to standard plates. In addition, multiple cell types appear to have the most favorable growth and even seeding on amine plates. The assay performance is only guaranteed with amine plates. A treatment causes cells detachment. Is there a way to prevent the lost of detaching cells? Loss of floating cells can be easily prevented by inserting two centrifugation steps into the protocol: (1) Immediately prior the addition of Paraformaldehyde Solution (step 10.3) centrifuge the microtiter plate at 500 x g for 5-10 minutes, (2) Immediately after the addition of Paraformaldehyde Solution centrifuge the microtiter plate again at 500 x g for 5-10 minutes. Continue in the fixation for a total of 15 - 20 minutes. For examples using detaching cells in In-Cell ELISA, refer to ab110215 Product Booklet. Discover more at www.abcam.com 19 RESOURCES I grow my cells in 15% FBS, will this interfere with the cell fixation? Culture media containing up to 15% fetal serum does not interfere with the cell fixation and cross-linking to the plate on adherent cells. However we recommend for suspension cells to use no more than 10% fetal serum. How do I measure the assay background? It is essential to omit primary antibody in at least one well (3 wells recommended) to provide a background signal for the experiment which can be subtracted from all measured data. This should be done for each experimental condition. It is also recommended to include at least one well without cells to provide primary antibody background. Is Janus Green normalization necessary? Janus Green is a whole-cell stain that is useful to determine if a decrease in IR intensity in a well is due to a relevant down-regulation or degradation of the target analyte or if it is a function of decreased cell number (e.g. due to cytotoxic effect of a treatment). As such it is not a required readout, but it is useful in the analysis to determine a normalized intensity value. Discover more at www.abcam.com 20 RESOURCES 17. TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Cause Solution Too brief incubation times Ensure sufficient incubation times Inadequate reagent volumes or improper dilution Check pipettes and ensure correct preparation Insufficient cells Increase seeding density of cells; goal is newly confluent cells at time of fixation. Cell detachment Refer to section 17 Plate is insufficiently washed Review the manual for proper washing. If using a plate washer, check that all ports are free from obstruction Contaminated wash buffer Prepare fresh wash buffer Artifacts creating increased signal on IR Troughs used for multichannel pipetting could be dirty. Edge effects Do not use the edges of the plate.
