cADDis: Live Cell cAMP Assay Kit
Order cAMP Assays
Detect Gs or Gi signaling with cADDis, our cAMP Assay
- Use cADDis to measure cAMP through Gs or Gi signaling in real time with a single sensor
- Plate reader or imaging system compatible
Red DAG sensor multiplexed with a green cAMP sensor indicates dose-dependent signaling via a calcitonin receptor.
Multiplex Assays
-
Combine red and green sensors to measure multiple GPCR pathways simultaneously
cADDis cAMP Assay Performance
Off the shelf kits include the cAMP sensor in BacMam, a BSL-1 viral vector for efficient delivery to most cell types. Purified BacMam, AAV, Lenti vectors by request.
- Easily detectable on plate readers or imaging systems
- Controllable expression in BacMam vector
- High signal-to-noise ratio
A Robust and Versatile cAMP Assay Kit:
cADDis is a genetically-encoded fluorescent cAMP assay that detects changes in cAMP in real time.
- Screen Gs or Gi-coupled GPCRs in living cells
- Robust expression in practically any cell type
- Target to microdomains or specific cells in mixed cultures
Simple protocol:
Provided online is a simple cAMP assay protocol, with no need for co-factors, cell lysis, or complex liquid handling.
- Text and video protocols online
- No lysis or complex liquid handling
- Single channel, non-FRET signal
