IMGENEX History-Array tissue array slides are a simple, powerful, inexpensive, yet highly efficient method for expression analysis or localization studies of molecular targets at the DNA, RNA or protein level. For more details read out the article:

NF-kB (Nuclear Factor-KappaB) is a heterodimeric protein composed of different combinations of members of the Rel family of transcription factors. The Rel/NF-kB family of transcription factors are involved mainly in stress-induced, immune, and inflammatory responses. For more details read out the article:

FOXP3 is a master regulator of immune homeostasis expressed specifically in CD4+ CD25+ T regulatory cells controlling their growth, development and function and generally accepted to be expressed in both mouse and human CD4+ CD25+ regulatory T cells.

Apoptosis is regulated by death domain (DD) and/or caspase recruitment domain (CARD) containing molecules and a caspase family of proteases. A novel CARD domain containing protein was recently identified and designated ARC for apoptosis repressor with CARD (1). For more details read out the article:

All the cellular processes in living cells such as growth, development, morphogenesis and cellular differentiation are a product of gene expression programs involving complicated transcriptional regulation of several genes. This process of transcriptional regulation is tightly controlled and coordinated by proteins called transcriptional regulators.

RNA interference (RNAi) is the process of mRNA degradation that is induced by double-stranded RNA in a sequence-specific manner. RNAi has been observed in all eukaryotes, from yeast to mammals. The RNAi pathway is thought to be an ancient mechanism for protecting the host and its genome against viruses and rogue genetic elements that use double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) in their life cycles.

GPR83 is a member of the Orphan-A G-Protein coupled receptor family, and has anunknown ligand. It has been previously reported in various regions of the brain, within a subset of T-lymphocytes, and by RT-PCR at low levels in heart, kidney, liver, and otherorgans.

The principle of the ChIP assay is simple yet the process can be technically challenging. It is with these challenges in mind that IMGENEX developed the QuikChIP Kit for chromatin immunoprecipitation. Find out more information from the following article:

Apoptosis is regulated by death domain (DD) and/or caspase recruitment domain (CARD) containing molecules and a caspase family of proteases. A novel CARD domain containing protein was recently identified and designated ARC for apoptosis repressor with CARD (1). For more details read out the article:

Actin is a ubiquitous protein involved in the formation of filaments that are major components of the cytoskeleton. It is the monomeric subunit of microfilaments, one of the three major components of the cytoskeleton, and of thin filaments which are part of the contractile apparatus in muscle cells.

Toll-like Receptor (TLR) family is a phylogenetically conserved mediator of innate immunity that is essential for microbial recognition. TLRs are evolutionarily conserved and their congeners have been found in insects, plants, and mammals. For more details read out the following article:

Early development and differentiation of nascent T cells inside the thymus is a complex and remarkable mechanism. Around 1010 TCR variations are generated in developing lymphocyte clones through a random process of somatic cell gene reorganization. These types of T-cells require a different strategy to tame their autoimmune potential. One of many immunotolerance mechanisms that immune system has developed to distinguish between self and non-self antigens is regulatory T cells or Tregs.

As one of the largest and most diverse protein families in nature, the G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily play important roles in a variety of biological and pathological processes such as development and proliferation, neuromodulation, angiogenesis, metabolic disorders, inflammation, and viral infection. Not surprisingly, it is one of the most targeted protein families in pharmaceutical research today(Schlyer 2006).To find out the recent findings by IMGENEX, read the following article:

Immunology is a broad branch of biomedical science that covers the study of all aspects of the immune system in all organisms. The immune system is the body's defense against infectious organisms and other invaders. Through a series of steps called the immune response, the immune system attacks organisms and substances that invade our systems and cause disease. For more details read out the following article:-

IMGENEX offers over 90 Chromatin, DNA Methylation & Repair, and DNA Fragmentation-related antibodies, many of which have been cited in numerous peer-reviewed journals. Find out more details in the following article:

ATM, the gene product mutated in the cancer susceptibility syndrome ataxia–telangiectasia, is related to proteins involved in DNA repair and cell-cycle control. In undamaged cells it is present as a dimer or oligomer molecule in which the kinase domain is silent because associated with the FAT region of another ATM monomer. For more information about ATM read out the given article:

Akt family of serine/threonine-directed kinases regulates a diverse array of biological processes, including cellular survival, proliferation, glucose homeostasis, and vascular tone and are important molecules in mammalian cellular signaling.
