Positive Control
HeLa cells were treated with Calyculin A. Solubilize cells at 4 x 10
7 cells/ml in Cell Lysate Buffer. Serial dilutions of lysates were analyzed in this ELISA. Please see step 3 of Part VI Reagent Preparation for detail.

Calyculin A Stimulation of HeLa Cell Lines
HeLa cells were treated or untreated with Calyculin A. Cell lysates were analyzed using this phosphoELISA and Western Blot.
