I'm interested in RyR phosphorylation state and I have specific antibodies to measure the ratio phosphoRyR/total RyR in PBMC but because I'm planning to measure it by flow cytometry I need a positive (totally phosphorylated) and negative (not phosphorylated) controls.
For cell lysates I use PKA and CIP but I don't know how to proceed in living cells.
Does CIP cross the membrane?
Is there any protocol to force protein phosphorylation and dephosphorylation in living cells available?
Any help??
