Product Name:

PD 184352

Catalog Number:

4237

The role of ERK MAPK pathway was studied in the LPA induced pro-inflammatory phenotype in microglia. In this case cells were incubated for the indicated time points with LPA (1µM) in the presence or absence of PD98059 (10µM) or PD184352 (10µM).

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

ELISA, WB, Flow cytometry, Biochemical assays

Starting Material

Primary murine microglia

Tips

Nothing specific

Results Summary

The effect of PD1843452 was more prominent between the two MEK inhibitors in slightly decreasing the LPA induced expression of pp65.
