R*s 发帖数: 2041 | 1 from ur second paragraph, the knockout mouse and the other antibody study,
it appears other members of the same cytokine family perform the
same role as yours in this pathway?
But u said previously that an antibody specifically targeting your
cytokine also blocked the effect? That antibody doesn't recognize other
cytokines within the same family?
It seems it would be pretty hard to justify these two results. If the
former one is the case, RNAi won't help. | j******g 发帖数: 171 | 2 I am confused too.
Anyway, two points.
1, If you could decrease the secretion, by which the cytokine works in your
culture sys, it's unlike the RNAi will help you. Coz both reduce protein
expression down to 70-90%.
2, For your knockout mice, there are always some cytokines/growth factor
undiscovered, that may play an important role or compensate (as suggested by
Ras).
One piece of suggestion upon your writing. Please specify the phenomina
consistently, coz I was lost in paragraph two. And what's |
