The H2A.X Phosphorylation Assay Kit (Flow cytometry) is a cell based assay formatted for flow cytometric detection of levels of phosphorylated Histone H2A.X. Cells are cultured in microplates, treated with agents that induce DNA damage or apoptosis, which stimulates H2A.X phosphorylation. Cells are then fixed and permeabilized in preparation for staining and detection. Histone H2A.X phosphorylated at serine 139 is detected by…
Collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) in mice is widely used as an experimental model for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in humans. CIA is mediated by autoantibodies, which bind to a particular region of type II collagen, such as CB11 (CNBR-digested fragment of type II collagen) (Terato et al, 1985). Antibody-mediated CIA can be induced by i.v. injection of a combination of four different monoclonal antibodies generated by the ArthroMAB…
