These 96-well plates are pre-configured with the most appropriate TaqMan® Gene Expression Assays for a specific biological process, pathway, or disease state. Each plate contains predefined assays and endogenous controls dried-down in the wells, ready for accurate assessment of an entire gene signature in one simple experiment. The panel of assays in the TaqMan® Array 96-well Human Inflammation Plate targets genes involved in a broad range of inflammatory diseases. The genes fall into 4 classes: 1) Channels (L-type calcium and Ligand gated); 2) Enzymes and Inhibitors (Lipases, Kinases, Nitric Oxide Synthase, Phosphodiesterase, Prostaglandin Metabolism, and Proteases); 3) Factors (Tumor necrosis factors, Nuclear factor Kappa-Beta, Interleukin, Annexins, Kinnogens); and 4) Receptors (GPCR, IL Receptor family, Adhesion molecules, TNF receptors and Nuclear receptors).
