Lupus lysates were generated from tissue samples which have been diagnosed with lupus. ProSci lysates are ready-to-use and available for proteomics research applications including electrophoresis, western blot, immunoprecipitation, enzymatic activity analysis, protein-protein interaction analysis, and tissue specific expression identification. Please check product documentation to see recommended and tested applications for each lupus lysate.
Lupus or systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease which is potentially fatal. The immune system of a lupus patient attacks the body’s cells and tissues which results in chronic inflammation and tissue damage. Lupus can attack any number of tissues and organs within the body, but most often damages the heart, skin, joints, blood vessels, brain, nervous system and skin. The most common treatment for lupus is with immunosuppression and there is no sure. Lupus can attack at any age, but it is most common in women who are of child bearing age. It has an incidence of approximately 1 in 4000 people but effects 5 to 15 times more women than men.
