MAPKAP kinases

["Dr. Bruce G. Allen" <allen@icm.umontreal.ca>]

Hello,
Does anyone have information regarding antisera which would distinguish 
MAPKAP kinase-2 from MAPKAP kinase-3 in the rat? We have identified hsp27 
kinases activity using MAPKAP kinase-2 antisera from Santa Cruz 
(sc-6221); however, 40% of the sequence of the immunizing peptide, 
derived from the C-terminal of MAPKAP kinase-2, is identical to the 
corresponding sequence in MAPKAP kinase-3. Hence, I cannot exclude the 
possibility that this sera also reaacts with MAPKAP kinase-2. Santa Cruz 
also has sera against MAPKAP kinase-3 (3pK), but these products will not 
recognize rodent
