Our lab is interested in studying the role of inflammatory kinases as a therapeutic target. We perform ELISA and western blot assays to determine the role and pro-inflammatory status of macrophages in response to pharmacological inhibition of these kinases. This stable reagent is easy to use for qPCR. Just follow instructions and it works as long as your template cDNA is well prepared.
