ScienCell's GeneQuery™ Human Innate Immune Response qPCR Array Kit (GQH-IIR) facilitates gene expression profiling of key genes in the human innate immune system. The innate immune response is activated upon microbial infection or foreign substance presentation and includes activation of the complement system and adaptive immune systems. A separate array is available for analyzing the adaptive immune response. Brief examples of how included genes may be grouped according to function are shown below:
- Bacteria response: - TLR1, TLR5, NOD1, LY96, TRAM1
- Virus response: - TLR3, DDX58, IFIH1, MYD88, IRAK4
- Self recognition: - TLR2, TLR4, TLR7, TLR8, CLEC4E
- Inflammasome component: - CASP1, CASP5, PYCARD, NLRP1
- Complement system component: - C3, MBL2, MASP1, CFB, CD46
GeneQuery™ qPCR array kits are qPCR ready in a 96-well plate format, with each well containing one primer set that recognizes and efficiently amplifies a specific target gene's cDNA. The carefully designed primers ensure that: (i) the optimal annealing temperature in qPCR analysis is 65°C (with 2 mM Mg^2+ and no DMSO); (ii) the primer set recognizes all known transcript variants of the target gene, unless otherwise noted; and (iii) only one gene is amplified. Each primer set has been validated by qPCR with melt curve analysis and gel electrophoresis.
This kit is designed to facilitate gene expression profiling of key genes in the human innate immune system.
