This page provides information about reagents that may be valuable to researchers studying the NF-kB signaling pathway.  This information is based on our experience (or that of others), and we do not swear to its accuracy (especially since different lots of antisera may vary).  We welcome comments that will help us keep the information accurate.

cDNA EXPRESSION PLASMIDS

pcDNA3-based vectors are available upon request from us for the expression of the following full-length cDNAs:  human, mouse, chicken c-rel; or v-rel; FLAG-human IKKbeta; FLAG-human IKKalpha; FLAG-human IKKgamma (NEMO).
