Sera Laboratories has developed a range of more than 1,500 recombinant proteins for a variety of species to enhance cytokine-related research in neuroscience, oncology, endocrinology and immunology.
The recombinant proteins include human, mouse, rat, porcine, bovine and chicken.
The established collection includes cytokines, growth factors, chemokines, hormones, enzymes and viral antigens.
Cytokines are a diverse group of soluble proteins and peptides that show multiple biological activities.
They are involved in virtually all general systemic reactions as well as having important roles in embryogenesis, organ development and neurological processes.
These wide-ranging roles mean that cytokine-related research is fundamental to a number of disciplines such as stem cell research, neuroscience, oncology, endocrinology, apoptosis and immunology.
With its range of highly purified recombinant cytokines, Sera Laboratories has been enabling researchers to determine the activities, interrelationships and effects of these essential entities.
In addition to cytokines, Sera Laboratories also supplies recombinant growth factors, chemokines, hormones and viral antigens.
Sera Laboratories' recombinant proteins are mainly derived from bacterial systems, and also include mammalian, yeast, insect and plant sources.
