C20300

Info: Supplier Page 

CATHa neurons were incubated for 24h with conditioned medium from control and treated microglia cells.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

LDH assay kit

Starting Material

CATHa neurons

Tips

Perform multiple experiments with at least 6 replicates due to increased variation.

Results Summary

Conditioned medium from LPA treated microglia increased neuronal cytotoxicity. Use of different MAPK inhibitors abrogated the LPA induced effect.
