Microarrays are powerful tools in gene expression assessment, protein profiling, and protein function screening, as well as cell and tissue analysis. With thousands of small array spots assembled in an ordered array, these small devices makes it possible to screen for multiple targets in a fast, parallel, high-throughput manner. The...
Little is known about the transcriptional events underlying megakaryocytic (Mk) differentiation from hematopoietic stem cells. We sought to identify genes and pathways not previously associated with megakaryopoiesis and to evaluate the CHRF-288-11 (CHRF) megakaryoblastic cell line as a model system for investigating megakaryopoiesis.
Using DNA microarrays, Q-RT-PCR, and protein-level assays,...
