Brefeldin A Solution 1 mL by eBioscience

Brefeldin A is an inhibitor of intracellular protein transport. Incubation of cells in culture with Brefeldin A leads to blockade of protein transport to the Golgi complex (GC) and accumulation of proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Addition of Brefeldin A during the last hours of in vitro activation of cells results in enhanced detection of intracellular cytokines. Brefeldin A is effective for enhanced detection of a majority of mouse and human intracellular cytokines however, it is advised that the investigators evaluate the use and efficacy of this reagent as well as other protein transport inhibitors such as Monensin in their specific assay system.
