S100A8/A9 in Myocardial Infarction

S100A8/A9 represents a novel biomarker and therapeutic target in sterile inflammatory diseases. Among the various S100 proteins, S100A8 and S100A9 have been shown to be the most important of all the damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) proteins in sterile inflammatory conditions such as diabet...

Summary:S100A8/A9 represents a novel biomarker and therapeutic target in sterile inflammatory diseases. Among the various S100 proteins, S100A8 and S100A9 have been shown to be the most important of all the damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) proteins in sterile inflammatory conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, autoimmune disorders, etc. We present here methods to quantify S100A8/A9 expression in various tissues in mouse models of myocardial infarction (MI) using flow cytometry (FC), immunofluorescence, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (q-RT-PCR), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA).
