Descriptions:In the presence of ATP, magnesium ions and oxygen, Luciferase (also known as Firefly Luciferase) can catalyze firefly luciferin to Oxyluciferin, which generate light signals during the oxidation of luciferin. In a certain range, the fluorescence intensity is proportional to the concentration of ATP.

Descriptions:Vascular Endothelial Growth Factors 165(VEGF165) is a potent growth and angiogenic cytokine which belongs to the VEGF family, includes VEGF-A, VEGF-B, VEGF-C, VEGF-D, VEGF-E, and PIGF. Human VEGF165 is an abundant glycosylated cytokine composed of two identical 165 amino acid chains. Human VEGF165 plays an important role in embryonic vasculogenesis, angiogenesis and neurogenesis.

Descriptions:C-C Motif Chemokine Ligand 2 (CCL2) is a 13.88 kDa cytokine with 125 amino acid residues and is also known as monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP1). CCL2 is mainly secreted from monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells. It regulates many biological functions, such as recruitments of monocytes, memory T cells, eosinophils, and dendritic cells, extravasation of helper T cells, response to TNFα and IFNγ, and angiogenesis. In addition, upon binding with CCR4, it initiates leukocyte migration response to inflammation.

Descriptions:The cytokine IFN gamma could protect cells from viral infections and belongs to the family of interferons. A lot of studies have shown that IFN gamma secreted by antigen triggered cell types, including T cells, naive CD4+ T cells, macrophages, dendritic cells, and B cells. IFN gamma plays an important role to trigger the macrophage act against a diverse group of microbial targets, and the pleiotropic molecule associated with antiproliferative, pro-apoptotic and antitumor mechanisms. Based on the effector cytokine considered as a major effector of immunity, it has been used in the treatment of several diseases.

Descriptions:Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is the neurotrophic factor, belonging to the GDNF family of ligands (GFL) and identifying as a therapeutic candidate in Parkinson's disease. GDNF is a 23.7 kDa protein containing 211 residues that plays a critical role in promoting the survival and differentiation of midbrain dopamine neurons. Besides, GDNF is revealed to facilitate the development of peripheral tissues such as kidney, pancreas and lung. Additionally, as a member of GFL, GDNF also takes part in the progression of tumor.

Descriptions:Fms-related tyrosine kinase-3 ligand (Flt-3 Ligand) is a protein which is encoded by the Flt3lg gene in mouse. As an important regulator of hematopoiesis, Flt-3 ligand has a tyrosine-protein kinase activity that stimulate the proliferation of hematopoietic progenitor cells of both lymphoid and myeloid origin. Flt-3 ligand can synergistically increase the proliferation of immature progenitors with other cytokines such as GM-CSF, G-CSF, IL-3, EPO, IL-11, IL-12, IL-6 or TPO. Flt-3 ligand is expressed by a variety of hematopoietic progenitor cells including immature hematopoietic and marrow stromal cells.

Descriptions:Beta-Nerve Growth Factors (Beta-NGF) is a 27 kDa cytokine with 241 amino acid residues. Beta-NGF belongs to neurotrophin family, and acts as neurotrophic factors. It's composed of alpha, beta, gamma subnuits, and the beta subunit is related to its biological activity. Beta-NGF binds to p75 neurotrophin receptor and Trk receptor and their function is about cell death and survival, respectively.
