Chk 2 Gene Knockdown Quantification Kit

• Cat.No.: Kit-0216
• Product Overview: Chk 2 Gene Knockdown Quantification Kit is used for measuring Chk2 knockdown induced by siRNA or antisense oligonucleotide at the protein level.

Specification

• Description: Targeted gene knockdown using small interfering RNA (siRNA) or antisense oligonucleotide has been valuable technology for studying gene function. Gene knockdown leads to reduction in mRNA and subsequently protein expression. It can often be verified at mRNA level by northern blot or quantitative RT-PCR. However, a decrease in the amount of a specific mRNA does not typically correlate well with protein levels present in the cell. Gene knockdown can be also measured at the protein level with western blot. Western blot analysis is the most comprehensive way of showing that expression of the target gene has been downregulated. However this method, while sensitive, often lacks the ability to discriminate between samples in which the differences in protein levels are minimal. It is also limited in its application to high-throughput analysis.
• Usage: For research use only (RUO)
• Storage: (1) Store the Detection Antibody at –20°C; (2) Store Q2, Q4, Q6, GAPDH Control Antibody, Capture Antibody, and 88-Well Assay Strips at 4°C away from light; (3) Store all other components at room temperature. The kit is stable for up to 6 months from the shipment date, when stored properly.Note: Check if wash buffer, Q2 contains salt precipitates before using. If so, warm (at room temperature or 37°C) and shake the buffer until the salts are re-dissolved.
