Tumor cells secrete chemokines and growth factors that induce the pro-liferation of microvascular endothelial cells. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is one of the multifunctional cytokines that bind to extracel-lular domains of at least three different receptor kinases (VEGF receptor [VEGFR]; VEGFR1-VEGFR3) and neurophilins involved in anti-apoptotic sig-naling, mitosis, and cell taxis. Thus, VEGF is a key target of anti-angiogenic interventions.

Lysine-specific Histone Demethylase 1 [LSD1]
LSD1 (lysine-specifi c histone demethylase 1) catalyzes the oxidative demethylation of mono- and dimethylated H3K4. H3K4 methylation is considered a transcription activating chromatin mark and in vivo LSD1 is frequently found in asso-ciation with the transcriptional corepressor protein CoREST and HDACs 1 or 2. LSD1 is inhibited by a number of estab-lished monoamine oxidase inhibitor drugs. That and the fact that its expression is elevated in a number of cancers may make it a promising target for drug development.

Detection Sets & Kits
Netrin-1 – A Multifunctional Survival FactorNetrin-1 is involved in neurobiology, leukocyte migration, cell adhesion and angiogenesis. To carry its functions, netrin-1 interacts with specifi c receptors (DCC/neogenin, UNC5 and DSCAM) that belong to the family of dependence receptors. These receptors induce apoptosis in the absence of their respective ligand, and promote survival when bound to their lig-and. As a survival factor, netrin-1 contributes to the control of tumorigen-esis. Netrin-1 is overexpressed in metastatic breast cancer, conferring a selective advantage for tumor cell survival.
Netrin-1 (human) Detection SetAPO-54N-044-KI01 1 SetFor the quantitative determination of human netrin-1 from biological fluids (serum and cell culture supernatant). SENSITIVITY: 1ng/ml (range 2 to 128ng/ml). QUANTITY: For 5x96 wells.
BAFF Detection – Highest Sensitivity on the MarketBAFF (BLyS; TALL1) is a cytokine expressed predominantly by cells of the immune system such as neutrophils, monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, follicular dendritic cells, activated T cells and some malignant B cells. BAFF is a master regulator of peripheral B cell survival, and also acts in processes such as immunoglobulin isotype switch and B cell co-stimulation. Besides its major role in B cell biology, BAFF co-stimulates activated T cells. In humans, elevated levels of soluble BAFF have been detected in the serum of patients with various autoimmune diseases.
BAFF, Soluble (human) Detection Set (High Sensitivity) APO-54N-046-KI01 1 SetFor the quantitative determination of human BAFF in biological fluids (serum, plasma and cell culture supernatant). SENSITIVITY: 5pg/ml (range 7.8 to 500pg/ml). QUANTITY: For 5x96 wells.
RIG-I – Cytoplasmic Sensor for Antiviral DefenseViral infection of mammalian cells leads to an innate immune response by which type I interferons (IFNs) are activated to limit viral replication. Antiviral signaling pathways are initiated upon detection of viral nucleic acids by pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). One example for such a PRR is the retinoic acid inducible gene-1 (RIG-I), which functions as RNA sensor in the cytosol.
RIG-I (human) (IntraCellular) ELISA KitAPO-54N-045-KI01 1 KitFor the quantitative determination of human RIG-I in cell extracts. SENSITIVITY: 0.1ng/ml (range 0.156 to 10ng/ml). QUANTIT Y: For 96 wells (~80 tests).

TRAIL-OPG Complex Kit Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a secreted member of the TNF (tumor necrosis factor) receptor superfamily. Its expres-sion targets the skeletal, immune, and vascular systems. OPG protects the skeleton from excessive bone resorp-tion by acting as a decoy receptor for RANKL. OPG also functions as a soluble receptor for the TNF ligand TRAIL preventing it to activate apoptotic signaling cascade and therefore providing cancer cells with a survival advan-tage. TRAIL-OPG levels have been reported to be as-sociated with different diseases such as autoimmune arthritis, diabetic nephropathy and atherosclerosis.

TIGAR – No Threat to Die
TIGAR (TP53-induced glycolysis and apoptosis regulator) has been identifi ed as a novel p53-inducible gene. TIGAR expres-sion decreased fructose-2,6-bisphosphate levels in cells, re-sulting in an inhibition of glycolysis. In addition, TIGAR expres-sion lowered intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and protected cells from p53-induced apoptosis.

Ubiquitin Modified Conjugates
Enzo Life Sciences offers a new range of ubiquitin modifi ed conjugates that may be of utility for probing the linkage-type specifi city of polyubiquitin-interacting proteins or complex-es, such as ubiquitin binding domains/proteins or deubi-
quitinylating enzymes (DUBs). These single isopeptide link-age-based conjugates are prepared using single lysine only mutant ubiquitins. The conjugates has been characterized by SDS-PAGE, western blotting and mass spectrometry.

The UbiQapture™-Q Kit is an effi cient tool for the selective isolation of ubiquitinylated pro-teins. The Kit facilitates the isolation of mono-,multi- and poly-ubiquitinylated proteins (be-lieved to be independent of lysine residue chain linkage) from cell extracts, tissue lysates and in vitro assay solutions through use of a high-binding affi nity matrix. Provides suffi cient material for approximately 25 binding assays.
Possible utility:
1. Isolation and detection of ubiquitinylated protein conjugates from a specifi c cell/tis-sue lysate.
2. Capture and analysis of specifi c ubiquiti-nylated protein conjugates of interest from particular cell/tissue lysates.
3. Separation of ubiquitinylated/non-ubiquiti-nylated forms of specifi c proteins of inter-est.
4. Release of free proteins in their active/native form by cleavage of bound ubiquitin chains from the UbiQapture™-Q matrix using a deubiquitinylating enzyme.
5. Release of ubiquitinylated proteins in their active/native form by elution from the UbiQapture™-Q matrix using high salt buffer.
