ScienCell's GeneQuery™ Human Macrophage Cell Biology qPCR Array Kit (GQH-MAC) is designed to facilitate gene expression profiling of 88 key genes involved in macrophage activation and function.  Macrophages are an important component of the human immune response system and are activated for various purposes.  Brief examples of how included genes may be grouped according to activation or function are shown below:

• Inflammatory response: F2R, PTAFR, NPY1R, PTGER1, TACR1
• Chemotaxis: CXCL8, MMP2, MMP9, PTGS2, FPR1
• Classical activation: CCL15, IL12A, NOS2, TNF, IFNG
• Regulatory activation: IL10, CD80, CD86, SPHK1, CCL1
• Wound healing activation: ARG1, LPAR1, SIPR1, IL27RA, MRC1

GeneQuery™ qPCR array kits are qPCR ready in a 96-well plate format, with each well containing one primer set that recognizes and efficiently amplifies a specific target gene's cDNA. The carefully designed primers ensure that: (i) the optimal annealing temperature in qPCR analysis is 65°C (with 2 mM Mg²⁺and no DMSO); (ii) the primer set recognizes all known transcript variants of the target gene, unless otherwise noted; and (iii) only one gene is amplified. Each primer set has been validated by qPCR with melt curve analysis and gel electrophoresis.
