Product Name:

PF 184

Catalog Number:

4238/10

LPS activates IKKbeta-NF-kB signaling in macrophages. Therefore, we used PF 184 to study this pathway in induction of TNFa.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

Cell culture

Starting Material

RAW macrophages

Protocol Overview

RAW macrophages were incubated with 1 μM PF 184 for 30 min prior to addition of 200 ng/ml LPS for 8 h to follow TNFa mRNA expression.

Tips
