We designed a microplate-based assay method for mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase. Using anion-exchanger resin, MAP kinases from murine macrophages were partially purified in 96-well plates. The activities of these purified enzymes correlated well with those detected in heretofore used assays. The micro-trap phosphorylation assay has advantages over conventional methods (immunoprecipitation, Western blotting for the detection of mobility shift, or kinase detection assay in myelin basic protein (MBP)-containing gel), in terms of sensitivity, economy and rapid execution for hundreds of samples. Using micro-trap phosphorylation assay, it was demonstrated that MAP kinase activities in macrophages were persistently increased by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation, and this activation was inhibited by polymyxin B or tyrosine kinase inhibitors. This method is expected to give a wide range of application, such as determining effects of drug inhibitors or antisense oligonucleotides on MAP kinases, or measuring the various protein kinases after specificity controls were done.
