    -dependent activation and phosphorylation of the survival kinase Akt can be used as readout for cellular PTEN activity. Here we have outlined a detailed procedure employing a phosphoserine-specific anti-Akt antibody to examine the content of phosphorylated Akt by immunofluorescence and its dependence on PTEN activity.
