This chapter describes an indirect approach to measure PTEN’s lipid phosphatase activity
in vivo
. PTEN counteracts phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase action in dephosphorylating 3-phosphorylated phosphoinositides. Therefore, PtdIns(3,4,5)P

-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.
