Manuals

BioNavigator

BioNavigator is intended to be used in combination with PamChip® microarray data to analyse images and perform statistical analysis on microarray data. In this manual you’ll find background information and manuals on how to use Bionavigator for generation of your studies’ results.

PamStation

The PamStation is a fully automated instrument designed for processing PamChip microarrays. In this manual you’ll find information about how to set-up and use the PamStation for your experiments.

Sample preparation

 

Freezing Cell Lines or Purified Cells for shipment

The aim of this protocol is to prepare cell pellets from cell lines or purified cells for shipment to PamGene.

 

Preparation Lysates of Cell Lines or Purified Cells

The aim of this protocol is to prepare cell lysates from cell lines or purified cells for PamChip® Kinase profiling analysis.

Preparation of Lysates of Tissue Sections

The aim of this protocol is to prepare cell lysates of tissue sections for use in PamChip® kinase profiling analysis.

Preparation of Tissue sections

This protocol describes a method for cutting tissue sections of biopsies or tissues for application on PamChip® kinase profiling arrays.

 

Preparation of PBMCs

The aim of this protocol is the preparation of PBMC’s for shipment to PamGene. These frozen cells will be thawed, washed once and lysed internally at PamGene according to protocol 1160, for preparation of lysates of purified cells” for analysis by PamChip® Kinase and/or Tyrosine Phosphatase activity profiling.

 

Tools

The tools shown, are the tools we most commonly use in our data analaysis. Feel free to get in touch in case you would like to learn more.

Genego Pathways 

Peptides on PamChip (PTK and STK) can be phosphorylated by a number of kinases which are represented in signaling cascades in pathways. Some basic information is shown about how we interpret the PamChip data (pathway profiles).

 

Confirmation of  PamGene data

Data generated using PamChip assays need to be confirmed or validated. Select published examples of different approaches and methods are provided here, to illustrate possibilities for your research.

 

Interpretation of PamGene data 

Some basic information is shown below how we interpret the PamChip data (phosphorylation profiles and predicted kinases).

 

PamGene data to CORAL Kinome Tree 

The Upstream Kinase Tool is a functional scoring method that ranks the Top differential kinases. Visualization of the data on a phylogenetic tree can be useful.

 

PamGene data to Proteome Maps 

 A representation of major pathways and the PamChip substrates are illustrated on the Proteome map. The map represents the UniPROT Ids as provided in the Array Layout files of combined PTK and STK PamChips. Upstream Kinase Analysis (UKA) data can also be projected on Proteome maps.

 

PamGene data to Enrichr

Enrichr is an Online Tool for inferring Pathways and Gene Ontologies for PamChip data, both at the phosphosite level and kinase level.

 

PamGene data to g:Profiler

g:Profiler is an Online Tool for inferring Pathways and Gene Ontologies for PamChip data, both at the phosphosite level and kinase level.

 

Pathway and network tools

Free Online Tools for inferring Pathways and Networks for PamChip data.
