Product Name:

Murine TNF-α Mini TMB ELISA Development Kit

Catalog Number:

900-TM54

For the purposes of our studies, primary murine microglia were treated with lysophospatidic acid (LPA) 1µM in the presence or absence of a PKD family inhibitor (CRT; 1µM). Differences in levels of various pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines were analyzed using ELISA kits.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

ELISA

Starting Material

Primary murine microglia

Tips

Since you need to coat the plates yourself, extra attention should be paid to minimize errors.

Results Summary

We observed increased levels of TNFa after 24h treatment with LPA. The PKD family inhibitor (red bars) abrogated this elevated expression.

Summary

The Good

Easy to use, reproducibility of the results

The Bad

Since it's not a pre-coated ELISA, the experimental procedure takes a bit longer.

The Bottom Line

Generally very good ELISA kit.
