GFP Antibodies - A Comprehensive Guide

Green fluorescent protein (GFP) has revolutionized the field of molecular and cell biology as a valuable tool for tracking protein expression and localization in living cells. This article will provide a detailed overview of GFP antibodies from chicken, goat, mouse, and rabbit hosts, and how they can address different concerns in scientific research.

Optimized qPCRs with AAT Bioquest

PCR is probably the most widely used molecular biological method today and an absolute standard tool for researchers. A further development of classical PCR is qPCR (real-time quantitative PCR), which in addition to amplifying DNA also allows quantification of the amplified genetic material.

Inflammasomes - "Ignition Agents" of the Immune System

Inflammasomes are multi-protein complexes whose activity has been implicated in physiological and pathological inflammation. The hallmarks of inflammasome activation are the maturation of the cytokines IL-1β and IL-18, and the processing of gasdermin D to mediate cytokine release and pyroptosis from cells of the innate immune system.

Exploring Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) with AAT

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are oxygen-containing molecules and are often simplified as "oxygen radicals". The study of ROS plays an important role in understanding cellular stress and various pathologies such as cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.

Choosing the Right ELISA Blocking Buffer

Choosing the right ELISA blocking buffer often comes down to fully understanding the factors that determine ELISA plate blocking – especially the stabilizing processes involved.

How to Pick an Oxidative Damage Assay?

Stressed about picking an oxidative damage assay? Cayman Chemical provides a guide to help you choosing the right assay for detecting your DNA/RNA, protein or lipid damaging reagent.

How Did My Cells Die? Choosing the Right Apoptosis Assay

Apoptosis encompasses a non-inflammatory cascade of molecular events and results in distinct morphological changes including reduction in cellular volume, nuclear fragmentation, condensation of chromatin, DNA degradation, cell membrane blebbing, and subsequent dispersal into apoptotic bodies.
