description: From manufacturer SA biosciences (former superarray) website: The Human Stress and Toxicity PathwayFinder™ RT²Profiler™ PCR Array profiles the expression of 84 genes whose expression level is indicative of stress and toxicity. The array includes genes that are directly up-regulated by oxidative or metabolic stress and by heat shock. The array also includes genes representative of pathways activated by prolonged stress, which range from cell death by apoptosis or necrosis to growth arrest and senescence to proliferation and carcinogenesis. This kit is also designed to include only those genes that have been reported in the literature to respond to a toxic compound at the transcriptional level. Using real-time PCR, you can easily and reliably analyze expression of a focused panel of genes related to Stress & Toxicity Pathway with this array.
